In 2016 we launched a crowdfunding campaign campaign to draw attention to an endangered garment: the kaiku. This item of clothing, with a clearly sentimental and cultural impulse, got to win over the hearts of those people who wanted to wear a little piece of Basque culture.

Exceeding expectations

People’s response was overwhelming: almost 100 people supported the initiative, showing a clear interest towards fashion with history, 0 km and quality in fabrics and finishings. We were surprised! This initial contact was vital to consolidate our belief: people wanted traditional garments with a clearly cultural connection but adapted to the needs of the 21st century

From the past to the present

Thanks to this crowdfounding Amarenak’s kaiku was introduced to the Basque Country and the rest of the world and, nowadays, hundreds of people wear a traditional item of clothing in the streets of their cities. The perfect link between tradition and avant-garde.

Eskerrik asko!

13.491 thanks!

To all those people who helped Amarenak come true.
