ABOUT
Casa Collab is a design lab for sustainable jewellery and accessories that works with crafts communities, based in Peru.
Our purpose is to sustain the Peruvian goldsmith legacy and the ecosystems related to the jewellery practice.
We are certified as a B Corp, the first in the jewellery sector in South America, opting for a circular design model. In Casa Collab, we design, we co-create.
THE PROCESS
In Casa Collab, each piece is a unique project, a bespoke jewellery piece.
We work carefully, slowly and filled with passion with each of our partner artisans who are located in the different regions from our country, Peru. From the jungle to the highlands and the coastal areas, each piece travels a long way, connecting the mine, the artisan and each person who wears a Casa Collab piece.
This journey is the most important part of our work.
