ETKIE

Our business model is simple. We believe in artisans. Our collaborations embrace their talent, happiness, and livelihoods. We work directly with different communities of artisans around the American Southwest to share their creative skills with the world. Using traditional techniques passed down through generations blended with a modern design, each Etkie piece is one-of-a-kind and made by hand. We hope that the connection between the makers and the wearers translates into something special, preserving and celebrating the culture of the Southwest and its Native community.

Etkie acknowledges the complex history of the lands on which we live and work. Our Albuquerque office resides on the ancestral and unceded homelands of the Tiwa people and numerous Pueblo nations, as well as the Navajo and Apache peoples. We recognize the deep and enduring connections Indigenous peoples maintain with this land. In alignment with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, we respect the rights of Indigenous communities as traditional stewards of these lands and commit to honoring their heritage, culture, and significant contributions to our shared history.
