It illuminates a philosophy of living that is contingent on the fundamental values of community and reciprocity. The brand AYNI was created out of a common love for high quality products, nature's finest materials and a social engagement. AYNI seeks to set an example to the rest of the fashion and textile industry by showing how ethics and aesthetics can join hands. AYNI products are created using
only the most exclusive Peruvian materials such as the luxurious baby alpaca and the famous pima cotton. The production is done in Peru where traditional methods were kept to enable Peruvian artisans to achieve quality that is superior to industrially-made garments. The knitting is done by peasant communities in the Peruvian Andes that retain the traditional cultural heritage to hand knit garments that are inimitable in quality and character. We believe in encouraging fair trade and ethical business practices to correct social imbalances and foster the development of underprivileged communities. To us, sustainable design and production concerns social, economic as well as environmental issues. The goal is to ensure that the products have as little impact on the environment and use as few resources as possible. The minimal use of synthetic materials means that AYNI products do not cause harm to the environment after disposal. The design and quality of the garments ensure longer lasting products. Only the best natural fibers are processed at their location of origin which makes the products traceable and increases transparency throughout the whole production chain. We are involved in the entire process from raw fibers to the finished garment and work with manufacturers who meet our social, environmental, and ethical standards. The brand AYNI was created in 2006 and is sold in Europe, USA, Japan and South America. We are an international and dynamic team and our business approach to ethical design and production has gained recognition and interest all over the world.
