There are always smaller brands that are popping up and trying to make a name for themselves. I love learning about new brands that work hard to produce a beautiful product. Some brands have been inspired by social awareness. Other brands drive social change. I love brands with a story behind their product. For example, a family business that is born out of a particular need or awareness can help a customer to connect with them on a personal level. This develops a bond that transcends trend or season.

I recently learned of a brand called Cuyana. I came across them on Pinterest. They offer gorgeous apparel and accessories. In particular, I love the look of their handbags. I started to reach more about the brand and here is what I found when I googled them:

"Fewer, Better Things. Timeless apparel and accessories for the modern woman made with the most premium materials and finest craftsmanship..."

Cuyana means "to love" in Quechua (which is a Native South American language spoken mainly in the Andes). They want you to love everything in your closet and everything in your life. They believe in a philosophy of Fewer, Better which extends beyond fashion and into life as a whole. Everything about this brand is focused on simplicity from their classic product style to their website. They are consistently delivering a clean and simple message.

I invite you to browse their product and read more about their brand and their philosophy.
