Discover Yuwwi: Where Nature and Tradition Meet
Welcome to Yuwwi,
A brand born out of love for nature, healing powers, and cultural heritage. Our journey began in 2020, during a time that brought the world to a standstill, but inspired us to move forward.
Our Origin
In the heart of the corona pandemic, we were deeply touched by the power of nature and its influence on climate, people, and earth. This moment of reflection took us back to a journey that had begun years earlier - a trip to Asia that opened our eyes to the healing powers that have been used there for centuries for the health of body and mind.
On the other hand, foreign entrepreneurs and designers would often have amazing ideas and impressive designs, but they hadn’t been in Indonesia, India, or Nepal long enough to understand how to communicate their wishes to the artisans in a way that is culturally appropriate and effective. Or they would not even know where to start looking for the person with the right skills to help them produce their collection.
Founded in 2020, A Journey Through Generations
Our roots are spread across continents. As descendants of Surinamese guest workers in the Netherlands, with ancestors who moved from India to Suriname for a better life, in 2011 we felt the urge to rediscover our origins. This quest led us to Asia, where we not only came into contact with the circumstances of our ancestors, but also with ancient wisdoms that we now share with you.
The Birth of Yuwwi
In Nepal, we found inspiration and partners who shared our vision. Especially for Yuwwi, they developed a line of copper jewelry, each piece carefully combined with healing stones. These unique energetic jewelry form the core of our offerings, but our passion for holistic wellness has led us to expand our range.
Identity
We believe that all people are unique and are able to create their own identities! We love colorful souls that are reflected in our identity.
Power & Purity
Red stands for the fusion and power. White stands for purity and completeness. These two colors resulted in the hot pink color of our Lotus flower.
Respect
The Lotus flower represents a lot, but most importantly it reminds us of the respect of our customers and
people.
Transforming Plastic Waste into a Sustainable Resource...
We love our team and we care about them. We do care about our environment as well. We aim to avoid the use of single-use plastic as much as possible. We do split the waste in our office, and work to have plastic and paper recycled. In our office, we use organic soap for our hands and for cleaning. Our team outfits are made of 100% organic cotton. We use recycled paper for all. We think this small step can make a big impact and if everyone does it in their working space and definitely this will work and our environment will be much healed.
Most of the products that we make comes from the nature, Further our products are handmade or fairmade making it safe for everyday use.
