Guanabana Cream & Dark Green: The guanabana also known as a soursop, is a large and spiky fruit on the outside but white and creamy on the inside. This incredible fruit was our inspiration for our white and cream-colored neutral items.
Feijoan Green: The feijoa is a small green fruit that tastes like pineapple, mint, and apple altogether. The Feijoa table linens embody seaglass, mint and soft grey greens to create a beautiful and timeless color combination.
Naidi Blue: The naidi, commonly known as açai, grows in the Pacific tropical rainforest of Colombia. It is a super fruit said to contain many nutrients and antioxidants.

Tatiana Ordoñez and Veelie Alba
Zuahaza was founded by Tatiana Ordoñez in 2019 in Colombia. In 2018, Tatiana made a trip to Charalá to learn about the rich history of cotton growing, spinning and weaving in this region. During her trip, she met with Corpolienzo, a cooperative of artisans. Together, they decided to create a new line of textiles, born of the artisans’ extensive knowledge and of Tatiana’s desire to share creative, innovative textiles with the global market.

Zuahaza means “my sister” in the Muisca language of the people who lived in the Cundiboyacense mountain region of Colombia. As a social enterprise, Zuahaza strives to embody collective sisterhood between women in Colombia. Following an era of intense conflict, which continues to shape and affect Colombia today, Zuahaza seeks to participate in the peacemaking efforts to reunite and heal our country.
Zuahaza strives to connect women from across Colombia, and to create unique products that reflect our diversity, history and dreams as statements of the unity and peace to come from Colombia. This is what sisterhood means to us.
