Andina, as a triple impact enterprise, allows tracing the story of these women weavers and their handmade creations. A symbolic thread that links the two ends of the process: the artisans and the consumer market. Each woven piece -similar to a masterpiece- is unique and unrepeatable. You can be digitally transported to its origin and author by scanning an embedded chip-tag and learn who the weaver is, where she lives and what her dreams are
