From Where It All Began - A Glimpse At The Early Days Of Akasha
From humble beginnings at local markets on the shores of Lake Atitlan, in just two short years we've come a long way! We wanted to share with you, memories of where it all began; the highs (selling our first collection at the local market), the lows (two long days shooting the straps in a dark room) and everything in between.
A big thank-you to everyone who has helped and supported us along the way x
Our very first collection!!!

Hand painted signage and mandala Christmas cards
Screen printing in Panajachel
Emily's final logo sketch (after weeks of perfecting!)
Deciding on the final logo... decisions decsions!
Our dear friend Chenti - who generously donated his green room which we turned into our photography studio for two very intense days of shooting!
