Awana Designs

In collaboration with indigenous artisans from different areas of The Andes our goal is to maintain their traditions, materials and original garments, with a modern twist for today’s users. Our products (mainly alpaca clothing and toquilla straw hats) are carefully woven by craftsmen, who for generations have used their techniques as an expression of their folklore, customs and native materials. Our utmost priority is to promote the sustainable development of indigenous handcrafts and work on the continued improvement of their quality and design, driven by a strong fair trade philosophy. In this way, we make two main lines of accessories: one of alpaca wool with ponchos, capes, scarves and stoles; and another with Panama Hat-style toquilla straw hats.
