The Colombian fashion industry has merged with ancestral knowledge to give added value to their creations. This has allowed us to experiment with a new angle of designs full of multiple shapes, colors, and patterns that result in unprecedented alternatives such as handbags, purses, baskets, ornaments, etc.
Some of Claudia Akel’s creations are complex structures that project multiple stories. Stories that range from the mythical to the romantic. This means for us as a brand to be ambassadors of Colombian and Latin American culture because we represent the hands and feelings of each artisan.
Colombia has become a benchmark for sustainable fashion and artisanal fashion. Claudia Akel’s products currently collaborate with more than six ethnic groups, such as Wayuu, Guaviare, Kogui, Arhuac, Uitoto, and Yaruro.
