ABOUT THE MAKER

Priah

Priah was founded by Juanita Garcia with a simple yet profound mission: to safeguard the time-honored artistry of hand-crochet in Boyacá, Colombia, which faced a grave threat from the advancing tide of industrialization. Guided by her deep passion for sustainable fashion and social entrepreneurship, Juanita united a collective of highly skilled female artisans from the region. These artisans, revered masters of the hand-crochet techniques passed down through generations, joined forces under the banner of Priah.
