An example of our other garments on the site includes those made by women artisans in Ain Leuh, an enchanting village perched high in the Middle Atlas Mountains in Morocco. We work on a fair-trade basis with our artisans, and have developed long-term partnerships with them. We insure good working conditions, make advance payments, and provide technical assistance and training.
We aspire to present you with a desirable and beautiful collection which does not come at an ethical cost, nor harm the environment or its world’s workers. You can buy our collections and trust that the material and labor, from the cotton farmer to the finishing stitches were accomplished while respecting the people involved, and protecting our precious eco-system.

Erin became interested in the development of fair-trade practices in the fashion industry while studying for her degree in Fashion Management at The London College of Fashion, where she wrote her dissertation on fair-trade fashion. After graduating in 2005, she spent time in Gujarat, India with an ethical textile importer and worked beside local co-operatives. In 2006, Erin and Helen set up Amana LLP with high ambitions to combine their belief in ethics and their love of fashion. Erin now manages the day-to-day business operation, oversees production in Morocco, and does all our marketing.
Helen graduated from Central Saint Martins in 2005. She became interested in sustainable design while studying for her degree, and began researching sustainable textiles and natural dyes. She now manages the design process at Amana (designing the garments, making patterns and samples, sourcing fabrics, trimmings, and fastenings), along with training our artisans in Morocco.
