Über Atelier Avanzar

We create high quality handmade products with charming patterns and intricate design. Our products are not only made in small batches in ateliers, they are also manufactured under carefully audited ethical production conditions. The goal of the ATELIER AVANZAR is economic and social business success. All bags are made with love, great dedication and a good portion of hope for a better future. ATELIER AVANZAR is a social enterprise that has been in existence in Ecuador since 2010. It helps socially disadvantaged women to lead an independent life that is as financially independent as possible through the targeted teaching of practical knowledge. Our women artisans strive to make a better life for themselves and their families. They want to actively participate in the economy and be able to determine their own lives. Design is one side of creation, the other is execution, and this is where our talented women bring their years of experience in weaving and crochet to the process. With great expertise and high accuracy, they turn the designs into perfection. Finishing with leather adds to the complexity of the entire process, as the combination of flexible yarn and rigid leather places high demands on the craft. Geschichte lesen
