Our Dream: Wallqa Artisanal Platform

Our project has evolved to become a platform where we want to boost the growth and internationalization of all actors in the value chain of artisanal fashion in Ecuador. On our way to export our handicraft accessories, we have been building a community of artisans, designers, photographers, models, video producers, input suppliers, and national and foreign clients. We have seen the value of creating a community and an electronic platform that today only serves for electronic commerce, but that our aspiration is that in the future evolves to a on line platform that allows all the actors in the chain provide services to be traded, and additionally we are aiming to provide financing and logistics services. Our role will be to connect and curate all the services provided on the platform.

We will launch innovation challenges each trimester, to find the best designers to develop our collections. After selecting the designs, we will connect them with the best artisans, if they do not have their own production set. We will concentrate our efforts in developing a network of international buyers that allow us to sell our collections to the world. We start now with the exhibition at the New York Fashion Week, this September 7 at 8:30 p.m. And we hope to continue growing our network of retailer buyers in the United States and in Europe.
