KAANAS is a culture conscious footwear brand that strives to create ethically responsible products that marry playful, feminine design to classic silhouettes. Unexpected modernity, bold prints, and quality craftsmanship are the signature elements that define every collection. KAANAS originates from the word used by the ways tribe; acenturies-­­old matriarchal society from the guajira peninsulain colombian, for the intricate application of their signature weaves. While on a trip to laguajira in 2013, sisters liliana and natalia acevedo were so moved by the beauty of the wayuu’s textiles they set out to establish a company that would offer footwear designs featuring unique textiles sourced from around the globe. Each shoe bearing KAANAS’ golden script logo is still handcrafted by master artisans.
