"LAS GRINGAS are real gringas, European expatriates in
the Andes. After some time spent abroad in London, Paris, Madrid,
Rome, New York, Windhoek, with each one her own story and
experiences, they explore South America and discover the cultural
variety of the continent. Then they settle down in Bolivia.
Their idea: blending Western fashion with rich handcraft from
South America.
Las Gringas: a new brand of socially conscious fashion started by
three friends driven by the will to create a style that fosters
human rights, the rights of women and families.
Las Gringas works in Bolivia, with groups of women from the town
of El Alto. Our sales insure a regular income to their families.
Another project is our work with a group of women from the prison
of La Paz. This project allows these women to be trained in
knitting and thus gives them more chances to be hired in that
field when they are released." -Las Gringas
