Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta — the heart of the world

our story

A tribute, not a brand.

Aluna is the unseen world made visible — woven by the women of Colombia, carried home by the women of Europe.

how it began

Aluna was born in the silence after travel, when one mochila changed everything.

In the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, where the Arhuaco people believe the mountains are the heart of the world, a Wayuu grandmother named Yolanda placed a mochila in my hands and said: Esto no es un bolso. Es mi hija.
"This is not a bag. This is my daughter."

Aluna is the answer to that moment — a separate world born from Live in the Remix, dedicated entirely to honoring the women, the land, and the slow craft of Colombia.

How Aluna grew, year by year.

  1. 2019

    A first trip to Colombia

    A founder meets her future husband on the plane. Three weeks in La Guajira, and one mochila she cannot stop thinking about.

  2. 2022

    A gift from Barranquilla

    Her first mochila comes as a gift from her husband's family — not bought, but given. The seed of Aluna is planted.

  3. 2024

    First Arhuaco mochilas

    Direct contact with a Sierra Nevada cooperative. The first wool mochilas, dyed with bark and clay, arrive in the Netherlands.

  4. 2025

    Aluna is born

    Wayuu, Kankuamo and Wounaan weavers join. Aluna becomes a sister brand to Live in the Remix — slow, signed, traceable.

  5. 2026

    Today

    5 women, 4 indigenous nations. Every piece signed, every weaver paid above fair-trade rates.

nuestros valores

Our pact.

01 · Reverence

We follow her hands.

Every piece is paid above-fair-trade rates, directly to the woman who wove it. No middlemen, no markup at her expense.

02 · Slowness

Twenty days, one piece.

We never rush a mochila. The weaver decides when it is finished, when the story is complete.

03 · Memory

We carry her name.

Every Aluna piece arrives signed by its weaver — her name, her village, her story tucked inside.

04 · Reciprocity

What we take, we return.

A portion of every piece sold funds language and weaving classes for the daughters of the women we work with.
