Manifesto

OUR VISION

ALLWINA's vision is to be the voice of the South American weaving communities in the UK and Europe. A voice that brings textile crafts to the fore, promoting their knowledge and appreciation as a source of cultural richness, working to generate a triple positive impact and, finally, promoting their excellence by working closely with the people who make them. ALLWINA celebrates the people, process and history behind artisan textiles.

MISSION

ALLWINA is a cultural retailer that embraces the value of textile crafts, bringing them visibility by communicating the origin, the craftsman behind the work and the creation processes, while facilitating access for the purpose of consumption through both direct-to-consumer and B2B commerce. 

ALLWINA guarantees transparency, best practice production processes, fair trade, and reliability end-to-end.

CRITERIA

We set impeccable standards against which our products are measured: 

• High-quality materials
• Timeless staples design
• Care. Fair trade. Ethical and respectful exchange
• Social, environmental and economic sustainability
• Cooperative and collaborative work
• Constant pursuit of improvement

The production formulas are based on traditional best practices, passed between generations of craftsmen, prioritizing the artisans themselves over design and cost efficiency. Production emphasizes the logic of natural cycles and sustainability, in order to speak to tradition through the lens of preservation and the future.
