OKAMA UK: WELCOME TO OUR WORLD OF WEARABLE ARTCreating a positive impact in the lives of indigenous artisans in ColombiaAround a third of Colombia's 103 indigenous communities are at risk of physical or cultural extinction. We partner with artisans from four groups at risk (Emberá Chamí, Inga Kamentsá, Wayúu and Wounaan) to showcase their art and help create a steady source of income for them through the fair trade of their impeccably crafted products.Given weaving is traditionally a female task, everything we do is underpinned by a mission to protect and empower women as well as to promote gender equality.IT DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN HANDMADE!Each of our creations is a unique piece of traditional indigenous art hand crafted by artisans who put their entire heart and soul into it. The art of weaving is an ancestral legacy passed on from generation to generation within the members of indigenous nations. All of our pieces are one of a kind, with only one piece available per design (bliss!)KEEPING BEAUTIFUL CULTURES ALIVEOKAMA UK strives to keep indigenous cultures alive by sharing their millenary art with the world. When buying from us you're not just buying a stunning fashion accessory or decorative piece, you're acquiring a piece of indigenous art and giving these beautiful, ancient cultures a breath of life.By encouraging both older and younger generations to earn their livelihood through the metier of weaving, we ensure that this artistic practice keeps passing on to the next generations. This allows for traditional techniques to stay alive in the hands of the young as a means of defeating cultural extinction.DO GOOD, LOOK GOOD. WE'RE ALL AGENTS OF CHANGEWe create trading partnerships based on dialogue, transparency and respect, always paying indigenous artisans a fair price for their work as well creating favourable conditions for them to thrive. Help us cultivate abundance for them.Let's change the world through fashion, one necklace at a time!
