The desire of Kero Design is to proudly carry the Peruvian soul worldwide. The brand aims to spread some of Peru's finest natural fibers, such as alpaca and Pima cotton, and through weaving, honor our roots and express our DNA: diverse and sustainable. Kero Design is a committed and conscious brand that understands that true luxury is not mass production or environmental harm but rather being socially responsible.
Kero Design takes their commitment to responsible production seriously. The proof is the Fair Trade Certification from Peru earned in 2014. The brand cares about the people behind each garment, personally knowing the artisans and breeders, fostering a unique relationship built on mutual respect. They believe a modern brand expresses its commitments by providing tangible responses to a society seeking meaning. Thus, Kero Design promotes employment in remote areas, integrate an ethical and sustainable value chain, and empower workers. Kero Design's goal is to create local economic and development opportunities, leading to improved living conditions, education, and health for their collaborators.
