Kantu: Where Tradition, Creativity, and Sustainability Weave a Better World
Our Story
Kantu was born out of a desire to offer more than just luxurious garments—it was created to connect discerning, fashion-forward individuals with a brand that embodies the values they hold dear: sustainability, social impact, and authenticity.
For our founder, Maggy Gutierrez, this journey began long before Kantu took shape. Raised amidst the majestic Andes, the lush Amazon, and the rich culture of Peru, Maggy’s appreciation for craftsmanship and natural beauty is deeply rooted in her heritage. After a successful career in Corporate America, she realized there was a need for versatile, high-quality fashion that could move effortlessly from a professional setting to a brunch with friends, or a night out on the town.
That vision inspired Kantu’s collections—timeless elegance with a modern twist, handcrafted in small, women-owned ateliers in Peru using the finest baby alpaca wool. We partner directly with local artisans, ensuring each piece reflects not only meticulous craftsmanship but also supports Peruvian communities and sustainable practices.
Each Kantu garment embodies our commitment to authenticity and environmental consciousness, helping you express your values through thoughtful, beautiful fashion. Join us in redefining what it means to wear sophistication with purpose.
