The story behind ogao
We are Manu and Caro – two sisters with Colombian roots and a shared passion for high-quality craftsmanship, strong aesthetics, and bold design. Our connection to Colombia goes far beyond our family in Medellín. It’s also the artisans we meet along the way who inspire us – and who stand at the heart of ogao.
Colombia in our hearts
Every trip to our second home, we delve deep into the world of Colombian designers, ateliers, and family businesses. What we experience there always touches us: small, carefully run workshops, centuries-old knowledge, and masterful craftsmanship – carried out by people who work with genuine dedication. In a time when cheap goods dominate the market, it is becoming increasingly difficult for many of these artisans to continue their work.
Our Mission
With ogao, we want to give these people a platform and bring their work to Europe. Our goal: to make Colombia's culture, magic, and craftsmanship visible, appreciate it, and preserve it. For us, this also means acting in a socially sustainable manner and securing real jobs in the studios.
¡Que chimba!
ogao isn't meant to be a label about us. The focus is on our artesanas y artesanos the artists behind every piece of jewelry and accessory. Our brand is bold, juicy, colorful, and wild – just like Colombia itself. ogao is a tribute to this country, its creativity, its colors and to all the hands that work with heart. ¡Vamos perra, e ave María pues!
