Brand Statement

Urkaya is an Ecuadorian sustainable luxury brand founded in 2026, bringing tagua vegetable-ivory jewelry, hand-woven Andean textiles, and Amazonian guayusa to conscious consumers and ethical retailers in Europe and beyond. The brand works directly with artisan communities in Ecuador — carvers in Montecristi, weavers in Otavalo, and Kichwa guayusa cultivators in the Amazon — through fair trade relationships that place the artisan at the centre of the value chain.
