Aravore (a piece of Heaven) was founded by sisters Yanina and Norah –inspired by the natural beauty of their childhood spent in South America. They currently employ over thirty craftswomen in their workshop in Asuncion and five people in London.
The Aravore Babies range is stocked in over 150 selected boutiques and department stores worldwide including Harvey Nichols and Fenwick Bond Street in London, Scoop NYC in New York and Tokyu in Japan. The full collection is available from the Aravore concept store in London and online from www.aravore-babies.com.
The Aravore ethos
Aravore believes passionately in sustainable fashion and upholding the highest ethical standards along the supply chain. This is why we have a hand in every step of the production process, from the sourcing of the (rain-irrigated) organic cotton and organic merino wool through to the knitting, sewing and finishing that happens at our own workshops in Paraguay. It is very important for us that the growth of the business ensures that everyone involved in this venture enjoys a rewarding job and has a better quality of life as a result.
We believe that clothes should be for life, not for one season and each and every one of our garments is made with passion and exquisite attention to detail. The Aravore seamstresses & knitters work on each garment by hand, with love – ensuring garments that are not only superbly crafted and comfortable to wear, but can be kept in families for generations to come.
All Aravore items are made from the finest organic materials, having tried to minimize their impact on the planet and maximize their durability and softness. Each piece includes a swing tag signed by the seamstress - creating a more direct link between the artisan and the child eventually wearing it and making them into perfect gift items.
