Alessandra Jourdan (She/Her)
Founder, Designer
Being born and raised between the mountains of Añasco and the shores of Cabo Rojo, on the West side of Puerto Rico, gave form to my connection to nature and passion for sustainability. Since leaving the island in 2012, I got a BFA in Fashion Design from SCAD, worked in the fashion industry and dreamed about building my own brand that aligned with my values and celebrated my culture. During college I created a full collection of conceptual clothing made entirely out of cork. Years later this project translated into an artistic, but wearable accessory brand called Yabisi. Today, I'm committed to honoring Mother Earth and my Caribbean ancestors in everything I create.
