About The Affiliated Organization

The textile industry reaches into every layer of society - local and global communities, consumers and producers, artisans, businesses, designers. It shapes dreams and generates enormous profit, while also sustaining modern slavery and one of the most polluting industries on earth. Hecho por Nosotros exists to build another vision of what the creative economy can become: one where indigenous knowledge is protected instead of extracted, where artisans are recognized as innovators rather than beneficiaries, and where technology strengthens communities instead of replacing them.

Over the past 16 years, more than 8500 artisans, 20 K producers of natural fibers, 50 Medium firms, 80 organizations, alongside universities and governments across Latin America, have joined us in building value chains that are fair, traceable, and regenerative. The creative economy - fashion, media, cinema, design, storytelling, cultural heritage - remains one of the most powerful yet neglected tools we have for confronting inequality, cultural erasure, and environmental collapse at the same time.
