Zuahaza

Zuahaza is a women-owned home goods company founded by Tatiana Ordoñez and Veelie Alba. They collaborate with artisans across Colombia to create their products, working directly with three artisan collectives: Corpolienzo, Crearcoop, and La Familia Becerra. All of their artisans receive fair, living wages and are paid nearly double the Colombian minimum wage. The materials they use are organic and biodegradable, and some of them include 100% organic cotton, fique, wool, ceramics, and non-toxic dyes. Zuahaza upholds a minimal waste policy, as they utilize their scrap fabric and the small threads found in their cotton farm fertilizers.

Zuahaza means “my sister” in the Muisca language. Their mission is to connect women across Colombia through their shared culture, history, and artistic practice.
