The Artisan Project Details
THE ARTISAN PROJECT is an Ecuadorian ethical fashion brand that works hand in hand with indigenous artisans in Ecuador to create unique and gorgeous designs for men and women, all ethically handcrafted. Fashion and product design are used as tools to empower local artisans, particularly indigenous women, providing them with income-generating opportunities and access to global markets where they can commercialize their products. It all started over coffee and passionate discussions that led to a simple idea: entrepreneurship initiatives can create social change in emerging economies. Ecuadorian handicrafts are loved and are appreciated worldwide. However in our country there is an obvious disconnect where ethically responsible artisans are unable to access equal economic opportunities. They often don't benefit from their work due to the lack of fair trade practices. It is our mission to bridge this gap by showcasing beautiful, authentic Ecuadorian handicrafts and supporting the talented local artisans who make them by providing access to the global marketplace. All while simultaneously sharing the vibrancy and rich culture of our country with the world.We have carefully curated a locally sourced collection of high-quality, handcrafted Ecuadorian artisanal goods that combine traditional, indigenous craftsmanship with modern aesthetics and contemporary design. We work directly with the artisans without any intermediaries. Our products transform traditional Ecuadorian goods into statement pieces that transcend our culture and appeal to the global fashion consumer.We dream big. In the future, we strive to empower emerging talented artisans by enhancing their creative and production skills through capacity-building activities and collaborative networks. Through this endeavor we also want to tell their success story to the world.
