Originally from Colombia and now making her home in Savannah, Georgia, designer Ana Avila has created the stylish ecological brand, ANA A. The woods used to craft her handmade bracelets and sunglasses are all sourced from Colombia, where they are removed from discarded bark and repurposed to create the original pieces of art in her collection. “I use classical tools and methods to carve and shape each piece,” Ana says, “allowing the wood to lead and determine the designs and shapes created.”
