Esencia

Founded in 2007 by Yoko Meinertz and Erica Claure Pedersen, Esencia brings together the rich cultural heritage of Japan, Bolivia, and Denmark. Their shared vision was to create high-quality, natural products with simple, timeless designs while showcasing the craftsmanship of indigenous artisans from the Andes.

Esencia’s collections are crafted from the finest alpaca and llama fibers and are sourced exclusively from suppliers committed to fair trade and sustainability. The brand blends Bolivia’s artisan traditions, Japanese design integrity, and Danish quality of life awareness, creating a unique identity that inspires modern living with natural, simple, and ethically produced goods.

Esencia’s ethos reflects the growing global demand for high-quality, socially responsible, and natural products, making every piece a conscious choice for sustainable living.
