OUR PRODUCTION COLLABORATORS

Peru – Mexico

LIMA

Production

In Lima we have a dozen collaborators that work with us in order to ensure production.

We work with particulars as well as family-based small businesses.

Seamstresses, tailors, silkscreen printers, graphic designers, and a team responsible for packaging, cleaning and sending what was produced to Canada. These are some of the roles occupied by these precious collaborators, without which AYAM Creation wouldn’t be what it is. The individual contributions that each of these people bring is essential. They are selected for the quality of their workmanship as much as for their qualities of the heart. Our exchanges take shape through a spirit of ethics and family.

PUCALLPA

Embroidery

In Pucallpa we work with over four dozen women of the Shipibo tribe, who do embroideries by hand onto our clothes once they have been tailored. These women have been selected based on the quality of their artistry as well as their ability to respect deadlines.

With patience and attentiveness, they transpose onto our clothing their millennial artistry.

We have deep gratitude for the work these women do and we remunerate them accordingly. Also, the Taminchi-Berreras family is one of our dearest allies on Peruvian grounds, from the Amazon all the way to the Andes! A particularly heartfelt wink to Maria Berreras, our favorite « mami »! Look up our videos section to watch the little documentary we made about the Shipibo tribe and artwork. Cultural Zoom is a photo gallery where there is also many pictures of indigenous tribe.

ANDES ET CHIAPAS

Weaving

We are presently developing a network of valuable contacts, in the Peruvian Andes and in the heights of the Mexican Chiapas, of women seamstresses. Establishing stable and efficient partnerships with the women of these areas that hand-weave remarkable textiles is the goal to which we are dedicating the next couple of years. The 2016 collection marks the beginning of this new ethnic collaboration!

OUR COLLABORATORS
from Quebec

QUÉBEC – LIMOILOU

Family

In a way unique to itself, AYAM Creation is a multigenerational family company. As Myriam puts it : ‘Without the precious help of my father Fernand, my mother Louise and my sister Marie, this project would never have seen the light of day. The help and support I receive from them is of a worth that cannot be estimated.  I say grace to infinity for the example of unconditional love they bless me with on a daily basis.’ First-row collaborators to the AYAM project, the designer’s blood-family is nowhere near being done watching closely as her projects evolve!

QUÉBEC – MONTRÉAL

Multimedia

In Quebec there are many multimedia actors that come into play. It is here, more often than not, that all the aspects other than clothes production happen. It is also the case that some of our Quebec-based collaborators accompany us in our world-wide adventures. An example of this would be our filmmaker and photographer Marie Dietlin. Marie shot and edited three video-capsules for AYAM as well as another video called Portrait of the artist Juan Carlos Taminchi. She has also done many photo shoots for AYAM, including some covering the four corners of Peru!! If you are looking for a filmmaker or professional photographe, she is the one.
