Meet the Makers Behind the Movement

Indigenous Embera Chami people crafting

They Create. You Support. We All Heal.

Our first collection was handcrafted by Indigenous Embera Chami people in Colombia — turning pain and tradition into purpose, income, and healing. As we grow, each drop will spotlight makers from all walks of life — from LGBTQ+ youth to widowed elders, unhoused creators to survivor-led artists — all reclaiming dignity, income, and healing through expression. This isn't just craft. It's survival. It's purpose. It's healing in motion.

Our first limited drop is launching soon!

The Embera Chami People of
Caquetá, Colombia

Artisans. Survivors. Storytellers.

Forced from their ancestral lands during Colombia's armed conflict, the Embera Chami families of Caquetá lost everything — their homes, safety, and connection to the natural world that had always sustained them. What followed were years of hardship: disease, displacement, and the daily struggle to survive in overcrowded slums and unfamiliar cities. But through all of this, they kept creating.

Their beadwork — known as chaquira — is more than just jewelry. It's a language. A spiritual art form passed down through generations, each color and pattern a reflection of their cosmovision — their deep connection to the universe, to nature, and to healing. Every piece is a prayer, a story, and a survival.

Today, many Embera Chami people still live in conditions of poverty, illness, and displacement. With limited access to education or modern jobs, this craft remains one of the few lifelines available — a way to reclaim income, dignity, and cultural identity. By partnering with them, our first collection is not just handmade. It's heart-made.

A symbol of survival. A thread of resilience. A shared step toward healing.
