| Description (Often this information comes from the 'About Us' Page of the site. Sites can sometimes change daily so visit the site for the latest) | El Alto produces outdoor equipment which has been made in Bolivia. As well as the emphasis on quality design and workmanship, the focus of its product and branding has been to ensure that products are ethically sourced, staff fairly treated and a fair price paid. It has been formed as the partnership of Bolivian mountaineers, Bolivian tailors and Sussex based designers and outdoor enthusiasts. The name El Alto is the name of one of the poorest districts of South America, on the outskirts of Bolivia's capital, La Paz. This is where most of the local staff live. Its founder, Jonathan Cassidy, has been working and travelling in South America since the early 1990's, running expeditions, NGO and charity funded projects and, of course, enjoying the spectacular landscapes and cultures out there. There is obviously a great deal of need in many of Latin America's countries, but there is also a huge amount of talent and ability, and by encouraging this he felt that he could best help the less advantaged communities of the areas which have made him feel so welcome for so many years. It was this that inspired the formation of El Alto. |
