The Andean Collection - AboutUs

About Us

The Andean Collection creates socially conscious fashion.

The idea behind our line is to bring you great fashion forward designs, while creating a greener planet, and providing a path out of poverty for artisans using fair trade principles. In addition to being paid fair wages, our artisans share in the profits of the company as partial owners of The Andean Collection.

Our fashion forward designs are bold and inspiring. They are a vehicle through which you can exhibit your own personal style by layering and mixing & matching pieces in any number of ways. More than great fashion, The Andean Collection is also a story. A story that will become your own as you grow closer to our artisans and learn about the effort that goes into hand making each of your pieces. Please read our blog to learn more.

Our natural materials are an amazing alternative to common synthetic beads and are unlike anything ever used before in the fashion forward jewelry industry. Our original designs are a pleasure to wear, both because your purchase is good for the earth and the people who inhabit it, but also because these natural rainforest materials are wonderful to the touch.

We would like to hear from you. Also, you may keep in touch by signing up to follow our blog, http://www.theandeancollection.blogspot.com which brings you behind the scenes stories from both home and abroad.
