Entrepreneur, founder of CASTELLANO ETHNIC ORIGINS.

I am Daniela Castellanos, I was born in Colombia in 1989. Upon completing my degree in Journalism in 2013, I embarked on a journey across my country as a journalist; my career then took a dramatic turn after living with the Wayuu and Arhuaca women in the desert at age 24. Understanding the precarious conditions in which these indigenous communities live fostered the idea of empowering Colombian indigenous women though a ethical fashion brand. As a storyteller, with a true passion for discovering the unknown stories led me to visualise an international fashion brand with a strong social mission. With the idea of finding the human story hidden in the popular bags woven by the indigenous Wayuu women, together, I have built a brand that respects human work and the human emphasis put into each bag we sell, which challenges big corporations that only care for prestige and high margins, without displaying any true social responsibility. I believes in CASTELLANO --a brand that delivers a one-of-a-kind luxury product with transparency to the global market while sustaining the finest craftsmanship in any corner in the world. I also love writing about my life stories and perception of the world and the generation we are all living.
