Nannacay® (Nãnãkay) comes from Quechua — the ancestral language of the Andes — and means “sisterhood of women”. A name that carries the spirit of community, connection, and purpose that guides every step of our journey.
More than a brand, we are a social fashion movement.
Each handmade piece carries stories, traditions, and the talent of creative communities. We value craftsmanship, generate income, and promote local development.
We believe that fashion can transform lives — and we do this by connecting the talent of artisans to consumers around the world, building a bridge between cultures, beauty, and positive impact.
More than creating pieces,
we create opportunities.
Every choice matters. Every piece carries a story.
By choosing Nannacay, you support a network of women and men who create with their hearts — and help build a fairer and more sustainable future.

Where design meets impact
Our Commitment
At Nannacay, sustainability is not a trend: it is a mission. We take responsibility for our entire value chain, seeking to reduce environmental impacts and ensure a fair and transparent production model.
Taking care of the planet and people is part of who we are. We monitor our entire value chain, encourage conscious practices, and promote the responsible use of raw materials. We conduct annual mappings of our artisans, ensuring continuous support and constant improvements — because we believe that sustainability is built with responsibility and care.
We support artisans, continuously mapping their needs and practices that respect the environment, humanity, and the time of each creation.
Our Pillars
Our approach to sustainability is guided by responsibility and purpose. We take care of every step of our supply chain, always seeking to reduce environmental impact, value human labor, and promote real transformations — with integrity, quality, and design that withstands the test of time.
Our three pillars support this vision:
1. Transform Lives
We believe in the creative power of people. We act as a bridge between artisan communities and customers around the world, generating opportunities, recognition, and positive social impact through art.
2. Inspire the Industry
We create unique handcrafted pieces as an expression of cultural plurality. Each creation is a manifesto for conscious luxury and the appreciation of the craftsmanship of artisans without borders.
3. Sisterhood
We are a sisterhood that unites, welcomes, and inspires. We preserve cultures, strengthen bonds, and transform lives — together, for a more humane and sustainable future.

From a Dream
to a Purpose
The brand was born from the sensitive gaze of Márcia Kemp, a traveler passionate about global culture and craftsmanship. Driven by the desire to unite purpose and aesthetics, she created a project that connects fashion, social impact, and sustainability — giving voice and opportunities to artisans from different parts of Latin America.
Her journey began with volunteer work at the Child Institute and in citizenship actions within the corporate environment, merging purpose and social impact. Márcia discovered in artisans around the world a genuine way to express beauty and identity. From this union of the desire to help and the love for craftsmanship, Nannacay® was born.
Today, under the leadership of the second generation — Rafael and Gustavo Kemp, CGO and CEO — we continue to expand this purpose, renewing our commitment to people, culture, and the planet.
The brand's mission is to value manual work and support communities, through the Mãos Criativas project, which connects local talents to new opportunities.
Each piece is handmade, with authenticity and care. Márcia, now the creative director, closely monitors the processes alongside groups of artisans in Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru, observing quality, color, and identity in every detail.
Nannacay® represents a collective purpose: to celebrate creativity, strengthen bonds, and transform craftsmanship into a powerful tool for inclusion and inspiration.
