Cuyana
Cuyana, which means "to love" in Quechua, is a brand that embodies its name in every product. Founded in 2011 by Karla Gallardo and Shilpa Shah, Cuyana started as a direct-to-consumer bag brand with the philosophy of "fewer, better things." It has since expanded into a wide array of accessories and clothing, including jewelry.
One of the brand's distinguishing features is its commitment to sustainable and ethical production. Each piece is crafted with care and precision, using high-quality materials sourced from around the world. The brand works directly with skilled artisans and follows a lean production model to minimize waste and ensure fair working conditions.
Moreover, Cuyana has an innovative program called "Lean Closet," which encourages customers to clean out their closets and donate unwanted items to help women in need. This approach further highlights the brand's ethos of sustainability and social responsibility. Cuyana's jewelry collection, while not its primary focus, reflects the brand's commitment to quality, simplicity, and timeless elegance. The collection features minimalistic pieces that embody the brand's "fewer, better" philosophy.
Key collections include:
- The Classic Collection: This line offers elegant, timeless pieces that can be worn every day and treasured for a lifetime.
- The Modern Collection: A collection of contemporary pieces that feature clean lines and geometric shapes.
