Our Commitment to Sustainability

In a world of mass production, where fast fashion floods the market with disposable products destined for landfill, Alejandra Collective stands apart. We are committed to creating accessories that not only embody timeless style but are also crafted with sustainability at their core.

Our approach is simple: quality over quantity. Each of our products is made using durable, environmentally friendly materials, designed to last for years.

But sustainability is about more than just materials—it’s about people. We proudly collaborate with five artisan workshops, supporting around 200 skilled artisans across Colombia. Our partners include Wayuu artisans known for their vibrant, handwoven mochila bags; Usiacurí artisans who create intricate Iraca palm designs; Nariño artisans, Mompox artisans who produce exquisite filigree jewellery; and our leather workshop led by Edgar Beltran Jaramillo.

We prioritise slow, responsible production, working directly with artisans and suppliers who share our values of sustainability and ethical sourcing. For us, it’s essential to know the people behind our products—ensuring they receive fair wages, work in safe conditions, and have opportunities for personal and cultural development.

At Alejandra Collective, sustainability isn’t just a promise—it’s at the heart of everything we do.

Our Packaging

Our packaging is plastic-free, biodegradable, and recyclable—bags are delivered in a recyclable box and protected by a reusable cotton drawstring bag. This bag isn’t just for storage—it’s perfect for shopping or protecting your accessory, preserving its quality. Our jewellery is presented in recycled cardboard boxes, which can be reused for storage or other purposes. Our mailers are made from 100% recycled, biodegradable materials.

Our Values

  • Ethical Craftsmanship:

    At Alejandra Collective, we believe in creating accessories that do more than just look beautiful—they make a difference. Each piece is handcrafted by skilled artisans who are paid fairly for their work, ensuring that traditional techniques and cultural heritage are preserved. Our commitment to ethical craftsmanship means you can wear our designs knowing they were made with respect, care, and purpose.

  • Timeless Design:

    We design accessories that never go out of style. Our collections are thoughtfully crafted to be versatile, allowing you to transition effortlessly from workdays to special occasions. We focus on quality, using premium materials and meticulous techniques, ensuring that each piece is not only stylish but also made to last.

  • Sustainability at Heart:

    Sustainability is more than a promise—it’s a practice. Our leather is a byproduct of Colombia’s farming industry, making it both luxurious and environmentally responsible. Our silver is hypoallergenic 970 silver, and our palm straw is ethically harvested. By producing in small batches, we minimise waste and ensure that each item is crafted with care. Even our packaging is eco-friendly, with recyclable, biodegradable materials.

  • Integrity and Transparency:

    We believe that trust is earned through honesty. From the materials we use to the artisans we partner with, we are transparent about our processes. Our customers deserve to know the story behind their accessories, from the sustainable sourcing of our materials to the fair treatment of our artisans.

  • Creativity:

    At Alejandra Collective, creativity is at the heart of everything we do. We blend classic elegance with modern design, creating accessories that are unique, sophisticated, and full of personality. Our designs are inspired by travel, culture, and the artistry of the talented hands that bring them to life.

Our Process


At Alejandra Collective, our creative journey begins in our Melbourne studio—a space where ideas are transformed into timeless designs.

Inspiration and Design:

We draw inspiration from a world of possibilities—European and Australian fashion trends, the rich colours of Australian landscapes, and our love for travel. Our design team explores a variety of materials, experimenting with textures, colours, and techniques. Every idea is carefully sketched, refined, and perfected.

Material Selection:

Quality is non-negotiable at Alejandra Collective. We source only the finest materials, including buttery soft Italian leather, hypoallergenic 970 silver, ethically harvested palm straw, and fair trade acrylic.

Sampling and Quality Control:

Before any design becomes part of our collection, it goes through a rigorous sampling process. We work closely with our artisan workshops to create initial samples, testing the design’s structure, fit, and finish. Our quality control expert ensures that each piece meets our high standards for craftsmanship and durability. Only the best designs are approved for production.

Production with Skilled Artisans:

Once our designs are finalised, they are sent to our artisan workshops in Colombia, where skilled artisans bring them to life using traditional techniques.


Our Leather

Our leather pieces are a testament to Colombian craftsmanship and sustainable luxury. Handcrafted by skilled Colombian artisans, we take pride in using premium Full-Grain Genuine Colombian leather for our creations. This exceptional leather is not only sumptuously soft but also incredibly durable, ensuring your investment in quality that stands the test of time.

What sets us apart is our commitment to ethical sourcing. We exclusively use leather that is a by-product of Colombia's meat farming industry, furthering our dedication to sustainability and responsible production. This means that our leather not only exudes a rich, natural beauty but also carries a sense of responsibility and purpose.

When you choose Alejandra Collective, you're not only choosing exquisite leather pieces but also supporting the ethical and eco-conscious practices that are integral to our brand.
