Can fashion be ethical? Yes it can! With Castellano Ethical Origins you can see ethical fashion in action. They make beautiful, handmade woven bags that are in the coolest colors. They have multicoloured ethical tote bags and back packs, as well as cross-strap bags which are absolutely gorgeous and stylish!
A bit about their mission- as a social enterprise, Castellano focuses on helping the Wayuu people in Columbia. The Wayuu are one of the largest and strongest local tribes in Columbia, and they represent 58% of the American-Indian population in the country. They are known for producing strong textiles, fabrics and colorful prints. They're also rich in culture and heritage, and are very much a self-sufficient community. Castellano empowers Indigenous women by enabling them to be self-sufficient and create a business for themselves, through selling products in their shop.
The shop donates a portion of all their proceeds to social programmes that seek to empower women and their local communities in Colombia. This is a meaningful cause, and I love how their products are all super stylish and chic at the same time. They use the best handcrafted materials to make each bag, which is unique and fashionable at the same time.
This Wayuu backpack is their best selling item, selling out really fast during their pre-order intake. The designs are stunning - they're made from woven fabric and are handmade using leather and materials designed by artists from northern Columbia.
The backpack is handcrafted with 100% soft leather and is made for limited edition. By buying this bag you are supporting the Wayuu craftsmanship and empowering women in this ethnic community to develop their skills and have a better standard of living.
