What: A resortwear and accessories brand featuring designs handmade by local Ecuadorian artisans.

Price Range: $250 – $400

Founder: Stephany Sensi

Origin Story: Designer Stephany Sensi studied Fashion Design at Istituto Marangoni in Milan, and later, in 2006, earned her masters degree in Brand Management at the same institution. After her studies, she moved back to her hometown in Ecuador and noticed a decline in local artisans using traditional weaving techniques. 

She felt inspired to build a brand that was fashionable but also preserved the craft from her community. In 2010, she launched Sensi Studio as a design and product lab. The inaugural collection included genuine panama hats, hand woven handbags and other accessories. In 2014, the brand launched a line of ready to wear focusing on embroidered dresses. The label employs artisanal crafters in the Andean Region.
