A Nehru jacket, rerouted through the Andes.
We fell for the centuries-old Nehru silhouette — the mandarin collar, the clean line, no lapels to fuss with — and built our own as a tribute, with an Andean twist. A tambo was a resting place on the old mountain roads: somewhere to stop, get warm, and carry on. That's the job we gave this jacket. Sharp enough for the office, warm enough for a mountaintop, light enough to be the piece you actually pack.
One country. One community. One jacket at a time.
Wool from the Andes
Andean wool — renewable, biodegradable, and warm enough for 3,000 m mornings — sourced in the same country where the jacket is cut and sewn.
Cut & sewn in Miranda
Seamstresses in the northern Ecuadorian Andes cut and sew each jacket by hand, in small batches, from home. 15% of the price goes directly to the woman who made yours.
Buttons from the Amazon
Every button is carved from the seed of the Tagua palm — vegetable ivory that grows back, and never came from an elephant.
Signed & shipped
The label inside carries the name of the artisan who made yours. Packed and shipped within 3 business days.
Made by the women of Miranda.
We work with seamstresses from rural communities of Ecuador to handcraft each of our pieces — work they do from their own homes, on their own terms, that lets them provide for their families. 15% of the price of every Tambo goes directly to the artisan who crafted it.
The mountains we grew up around.
The Tambo is named for the shelters that lined the old Andean roads — resting places between one village and the next. Ours is made along those same routes: wool from the highlands, sewing in Miranda, buttons carved from Amazon Tagua. Designed between Quito and Brooklyn.
Every Tambo leaves with its maker's name inside.
Fashion has a habit of making the hands disappear. We do the opposite: the label inside credits the artisan who sewed it — because a signed piece of work is a different kind of object. When you hand it down, the name goes with it.
Flip the collar of any Remu piece and you'll find one.
