About Tribu

Welcome to Tribu, where every product is a labor of love, crafted with heart, soul, and an unwavering commitment to quality. We are more than just a webshop—we are a bridge between cultures, a lifeline to Ecuadorian artisans, and a platform for preserving ancient traditions. Every item we offer is meticulously handmade, not only to beautify your home or wardrobe but also to carry with it a story of resilience, hope, and dedication.

At Tribu, we are honored to work with a talented group of women from Ecuador's coastal communities, who transform toquilla straw—one of nature’s finest fibers—into stunning, high-quality products. Whether it's a basket, a hat, or a beautifully woven accessory, each piece is a testament to the generations of craftsmanship that have been passed down through families. The quality of these products is unmatched; they are made with the utmost care and precision, ensuring durability and timeless beauty.

But beyond the artistry and craftsmanship lies a deeper purpose. These communities, once thriving, have been deeply affected by the crisis in Ecuador. Violence, instability, and the war on drugs have robbed many families of their livelihoods. Entire tribes, who have relied on tourism and their craft for survival, are now struggling. Tribu was born from the desire to help—to provide these artisans with a sustainable income and to give their crafts a global platform. Through each sale, we are able to offer not just financial support but a beacon of hope during difficult times. With every product you purchase, you are helping these artisans keep their traditions alive and rebuild their futures.

As we look to the future, we remain committed to this cause. We are excited to expand our collaborations to the mountain tribes, offering exquisite alpaca products, and to the Amazon jungle communities, where other unique treasures await. With each step forward, our dedication to delivering the highest quality, handmade products remains unwavering.

At Tribu, every item tells a story—a story of survival, love for tradition, and a deep connection to nature. By choosing Tribu, you are not just acquiring a beautiful, high-quality product—you are directly supporting artisans who are navigating unimaginable hardships, helping them to preserve their cultural heritage and find hope in the face of adversity. Together, we are crafting a future where these traditions can thrive, and we are endlessly grateful for your support in making that future possible. Thank you for being part of Tribu.
