Paloma & Angostura
working directly with suppliers that were former members of ilegal armed groups in Colombia.
Paloma & Angostura is a Colombian Impact design company, Sustainable fashion for peace building.
We believe in Impact through design and Counciousness through industry. This is why we work directly with suppliers that were former members of ilegal armed groups in Colombia. People who used to belong to FARC and the AUC and now are creating a new beginning, a life in peace. The t shirts are signed with a message of peace from the maker - former militants now working together with people from other fighting militant groups.
Furthermore, In looking to fulfill our environmental values we sought to locally source in South America, organic Pima Cotton from Peru. There we met suppliers and found incredibly soft fabrics that make our products feel as good as the story they tell. We conceived Paloma & Angostura with the core belief that through action and empowerment, true change and sustainable peace is possible. We believe in Impact through design and Counciousness through industry.
