Where it's made
Alessandra Tona my sister in law a former high school teacher and cancer survivor and myself, Maria Elena Padilla a full-time mom, computer artist, and designer founded Almaweaving. ALMA stands for Ale and Maria and means “Soul” in Spanish. We wanted to create a brand that would be a vehicle to provide opportunities for youth and artisans in our small country of El Salvador. We then embarked on our mission to create a business that could “upcycle the potential of human beings” by “weaving opportunities”.
How it's made
At ALMA we are committed to upcycling our life, by generating opportunities for future generations, recovering traditional techniques, creating unique pieces by reusing materials and promotion responsible consumption. El Salvador is the smallest, most densely populated country in Central America. Youth in this country face many hardships, including socioeconomic inequality and exposure to social violence. We upcycle human potential through education. We upcycle artisans through the recover of traditional techniques. We upcycle waste through the use of recycled materials.
