aymara

Founded in 2007 from a Belgian-Peruvian love story, Aymara is a knitwear label that merges Belgian design with Peru's rich textile heritage. The brand was started by Belgian engineer Sven Van Gucht and his Peruvian wife, Yannina Esquivias, who established a family-run knitting factory in Arequipa, Peru. This vertical integration allows for complete control over production, ensuring high-quality, long-lasting garments. Aymara's collections for women and children are defined by their use of exceptional natural fibers, including soft Pima cotton for summer and precious baby alpaca and merino wool for winter. The designs are timeless and feminine, with a focus on pure styles, refined details, and a vibrant yet soft color palette. The brand stands as a conscious choice against fast fashion, offering authentic, soulful products rooted in craftsmanship and sustainability. Aymara also supports local communities by offering a small collection of hand-knit accessories, providing an income for women who work from home.
