VOZ is where handmade luxury meets social change. VOZ empowers indigenous artisans and their art forms through collaborative fashion design. Our hand-made garments feature premium quality natural and ecological fibers, hand dyed and woven to celebrate ancient traditions. VOZ celebrates Tradition Through Contemporary Design. Through collaborative workshops, we provide training in design innovation to skilled rural weavers, beginning with Mapuche communities in Southern Chile. VOZ international designers work intimately with artisans to envision, prototype and finalize our fair trade fashion collections. VOZ’ hand-made garments give a new voice to artisans by bridging centuries of their exquisite craft traditions to modern fashion platforms. VOZ works to empower women and their communities financially, creatively, and professionally. In the face of globalization and vastly disappearing indigenous knowledge, today’s artisans are the last generation within their communities to practice and teach their rich ancestral craft traditions. VOZ give’s these artisans a means of sustaining their culture, by offering them economic and artistic protection for their proprietary indigenous craft forms. Our artisans receive name credit and earn royalties for their designs featured in our collection.
