For The Conscious Consumer

My friend Lauren recently introduced me to an awesome accessories line: Cuyana. I’m absolutely obsessed! Not only are the brand’s bags, hats, scarves etc. chic and versatile, the pieces are travel-inspired and decidedly made with love. What’s more, creators Karla Gallardo and Shilpa Shah donate a portion of their proceeds to charity: water. Gallardo and Shah’s mission is to “elevate the fashion industry” – 

1. Timeless Style: We add an unexpected twist to classic fashion by using globally sourced premium materials to design one-of-a-kind accessories.


2. Sustainable Change: We rejuvenate communities by supporting small business, micro-industries, craftsmanship and local water projects.


3. Products with Soul: Each piece celebrates a country’s culture, heritage and its people.                                                                          – Karla Gallardo & Shilpa Shah

This is certainly an accessible cause I can get behind. And I couldn’t agree more with the ladies behind Cuyana…

P.S. Cuyana’s destinations (and design influences) include India and Peru – two places I’ve visited and loved. I’ll share pics in posts to come.

P.P.S Cuyana’s Argentina line launches TODAY. Check it out! I’ve got my eye on the Evening Bag in Black Leather and the Merino Scarf in Light Grey.
