Hiya! My name is Eveline. A lost-and-found world-traveller. Together with Yin, a Peruvian-street-cat-turned-princess, I live in Tallinn, Estonia, which we call “home-for-now.”
A decade ago, I spent five years living, learning, and working in Latin America, spending most of my time between Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador. From up close, I saw the challenges people face daily. And also the resilience that they have.
During those times I met Nona and her family. Inspired by her strength and determination to keep moving forward, we looked for a way for her to earn a fair income while caring for her grandchild. Together, we came up with a beautiful alpaca scarf. A design that’s still one of our bestsellers today.
Vision
We believe in a world where everyone has equal chances to grow. Through Yanantin, we provide women in Peru with fair incomes and flexible work, so they can care for themselves and their families, and make their own choices for the future.
Mission
Our mission is to create high-quality alpaca products while empowering women in Peru. We do this by offering fair pay, training, and flexible work that supports both financial independence and family life.
