The motivation for the creation of CASTELLANO was to support the ethnic communities in Colombia by providing them with a fair living wage so they can preserve their way of life and cultural heritage.
When Daniela Castellanos was amongst these tribes in Colombia, she was not only inspired by their incredible skill, she was inspired by their difficulties and wanted to collaborate with them in order to help them.
This page is dedicated to raise the awareness of the human input that creates CASTELLANO products. The fashion industry too often ignores this huge part of the process. To us, their story is important.
