The Concept
WaraYana means “The star that comes from far away” in a native language of Bolivia.
Bolivia is the source and inspiration of this project. Inspired by the country’s culture and trends, we want to offer you unique high-quality products through a completely ethical supply process.
The Project
“Renaming luxury through social commitment”
WaraYana is a socially responsible project that avoids large-scale intermediaries and manages to implement a fair-trade structure between artisans and the end customer.
WaraYana has a commitment to contribute to the livelihoods of many low-income Bolivian families, bringing together projects involving different local communities and companies. Our partners and suppliers support local workshops that apply ancestral knowledge and techniques, and, at the same time, prepares them to handle the highest quality materials and machinery, creating networks of self-managed groups that produce directly for brands around the world.
Nowadays, WaraYana incorporates into its productive chain European workforce, offering its customers luxurious and exclusive proximity garments.
The Materials
Warayana and the projects that it groups, work together with fibres like Alpaca, Baby Alpaca, Alpaca Suri, Baby Suri, Vicuña and now we incorpórate Cashmire. All of them considered as the most luxury fibres in the world of fashion and recognised for their high quality and softness.
The producers of these fibres develop sustainable and responsible farming of camelids native of the Andean region in the south of Bolivia and in part of the border with Peru. Their management represents an income for many families who coexist with these animals and share the same flora and fauna.
