Our Story | AMPMSIS – Two Sisters, One Passion
Two Sisters. Two Countries. One Shared Passion.
Colombian Roots, a Spirit Without Borders.
We are Andrea and Patricia, two Colombian sisters united by our roots, our passion for design, and our desire to share the richness of our country's craftsmanship with the world.
Today, Andrea lives in the United States, while Patricia lives in Colombia. Although miles separate us, we share the same vision: to create a brand that connects traditional Colombian craftsmanship with a contemporary lifestyle.
That's how AMPMSIS was born in 2025, a brand built across two countries, inspired by our cultural heritage and the stories of the talented hands behind every creation.
As a U.S. military veteran, Andrea brings her experience, discipline, and entrepreneurial spirit to this journey. From Colombia, Patricia keeps us connected to the origins of our pieces, the artisans, and the traditions that inspire us.
We believe a handbag is much more than an accessory. It is an expression of identity, a story worth telling, and a way to carry a little piece of Colombia wherever you go.
That's why we carefully select handcrafted pieces that blend tradition, color, and contemporary design, created for authentic, dynamic, and confident women who embrace their own unique style.
What Inspires Us Most
Beyond building a brand, there is something that brings us our greatest joy and fulfillment: supporting Colombian artisan communities and contributing to their well-being through our work.
It means so much to us to know that behind every piece are talented hands, families, dreams, and traditions that deserve to thrive. We deeply value the work of these artisans and believe in recognizing their talent, preserving their knowledge, and creating opportunities for their communities.
Our greatest satisfaction comes from knowing that, as we share the beauty of Colombian craftsmanship with the world, we can also make a positive difference in the lives of the people who make it possible.
Because to us, the true value of AMPMSIS lies not only in what we sell, but in the people, stories, and dreams behind every creation.
From Colombia to the United States. From our roots to your story. From AM to PM.
The Sisters Behind the Brand
Our partnership is built on a shared love for our roots and a balance of strengths that allows us to serve you better.
Patricia is the creative heart of our brand. From Colombia, she personally designs the unique patterns and vibrant color palettes of our handbags, working hand in hand with artisans to ensure that every piece is an original work of art.
Andrea leads our U.S. operations and logistics. As a U.S. Air Force veteran, she brings military precision and dedication to our business, ensuring that every handcrafted piece is stocked in the United States and delivered from our hands to yours with care and efficiency.
Our Commitment: From Our Hands to Your Door
Every piece is ethically handcrafted in Colombia by skilled artisans who have preserved these traditional techniques for generations. By working directly with these communities, we ensure sustainable and fair practices that celebrate their talent.

The Guardians of Tradition
Our weavers and artisans are more than makers; they are the guardians of tradition and the creators of beauty with purpose.
With every stitch and every intricate detail, they transform raw materials into living stories—carrying in their hands the memory, sensitivity, and cultural richness of Colombia. From ancestral weaving to contemporary design, each piece is born from inherited knowledge, a unique artistic vision, and a deep love for the craft.
Their creations do more than reflect beauty; they preserve identity, heritage, and soul.

Our Ethical Pathway
Direct Artisan Collaboration
We work directly with Wayuu and Bogotá artisan partners, avoiding middlemen and guaranteeing fair wages & sustainable employment
We pay 50% upfront to our artisan partners months in advance, supporting essential material procurement and stable income
Upon successful product completion, remaining 100% payments are sent promptly to partners, honoring their craftsmanship before shipment to Huntsville
How We differs from the alternative
Conventional Retailing
Prices are often negotiated down to the lowest possible margins with little regard for artisan welfare or material costs
Traditional retailers provide minimal or no pre-financing, shifting production risks and material debt completely to creators
Payment terms are typically lengthy, leaving global artisan partners with sustained, unfair financial gaps for months
