a’Mar Boutique is a store specializing in imported clothing, primarily from Colombia. It was founded by Maryi Ossa, who has extensive experience in the textile industry, starting at the age of 12. Recognizing a significant business opportunity, she observed that the designs and quality of garments in Australia differed considerably from those in her native Colombia. Born in Medellín, Colombia, a city renowned as a major hub in the textile industry, Maryi understood the exceptional quality and premium materials characteristic of garments produced there.
Why Us?
Shopping at a’Mar Boutique means you are making a positive social contribution to Colombia. This is because the majority of our partner companies prioritize hiring single mothers in their workshops, providing them with valuable employment opportunities. Furthermore, we collaborate with suppliers who demonstrate a deep commitment to the country by producing their garments within prisons, directly supporting the rehabilitation of incarcerated individuals.
As a store, a’Mar Boutique is dedicated to making a meaningful impact on society. By prioritizing ethical sourcing and fair labor practices, we actively counteract illegal practices often found in garment factories. Moreover, we stand firmly against fast fashion, recognizing its detrimental effects on both the environment and society.
