Sometimes strange things are on. Like this. Aymara. I mean A Y M A R A!

How on earth is it possible that I have never written about Aymara?
I love that brand!
All my kids have something from Aymara.

They do such exquisite and beautiful knitwear it is impossible to resist.
This intro post show you a little of everything. From the current A/W collection and a tiny bit from last summer. So you see that knits are very well a good choice for warmer days, especially if you live in a climate where a cardigan is always a good choice.

I really like the story on how it started:

Aymara is the result of the love story between a Belgian engineer, Sven Van Gucht, who met Yannina Esquivias, a young Peruvian travel agent, during a sabbatical year and fell in love. Yannina and Sven quit their jobs and started a knitting factory in Peru together with Yannina’s family. In 2007, the knitwear label Aymara was born. The name Aymara refers to a native ethnic group in the Andes of South America.

The cardigans are so so soft and all accessories really turn any outfit in something special. Yes, we are fans… and I am sure, if you get a piece you will be hooked too. I just know it!

“The magic of Aymara lies in the combination of Belgian design and Peru’s extraordinary fibers and textile craftmenship. Aymara’s knitwear is produced in our own knitting factory in Arequipa, in the south of Peru, managed by Yannina’s family. Thank’s to our strong relationship with them and their unconditional commitment, this incredible intercontinental project could be achieved. We believe that in today’s world of fast fashion and mass consumption, people are looking for authentic products with a soul. When buying Aymara, you are sure to get longlasting, sustainable products with an extraordinary story.”

You can find Aymara here.

PS: Soon I will be in Brussels and I hope I can find a piece for me too, they do gorgeous designs for women too!
