One of my old suppliers had retired, and as an excuse to visit him I decided I would check some other suppliers in that city. To my surprise, I liked what I saw.
Asarti’s Story:
Like most South American textile businesses, Asarti involves two generations.
Initially, the company was started in the 1980’s by a Dutchman who came to live in Bolivia, fell in love, and needed to make a living. They couple started a sweater company and ran it for many years. Their daughter went to Holland to study fashion design, met a Dutchman, fell in love, and they repeated the entire process by moving back to Bolivia to take over the company. I have little doubt that one of their two small daughters will one day go to Europe, meet a Dutchman and … well, you know.
Things we talked about on the last tripMountaineering and snowboarding. Kindergarten in Bolivia. How they designed their house. How Nicole prepared the lunch they served us.
