Features
3 of 5
Feature 1
Every AYA garment is made from 100% organic Pima cotton grown in Peru, a pure plant fibre AYA pairs with elastic bands of tree rubber and cotton, 100% Pima cotton threads and 100% organic cotton labels so the whole piece is free of plastic and biodegrades in nature without leaving a trace.
Feature 2
AYA keeps every step of its supply chain in a single place of origin, sourcing organic Pima cotton from the north of Peru and owning its production facility in Lima where AYA sews each garment itself rather than contracting outside factories.
Feature 3
AYA colours its Pima cotton with 100% natural dyes from indigo and eucalyptus alongside GOTS certified low impact synthetic dyes, offers undyed Natural White pieces, and reuses leftover material so no fabric goes to waste.

Supply-chain summary
AYA (ecoaya) is a plastic-free brand founded in 2022 by Peruvian-American siblings Meli and Rensso Hinostroza that owns its production facility in Lima and makes everything single-origin in Peru, from fibre to finished garment. AYA uses organic Peruvian Pima cotton (regenerative, hand-harvested) and royal alpaca (~19 micron, hand-sheared annually by Andean communities), dyed with plant-based and cochineal dyes with wastewater reused for irrigation. Its vertical integration and single-country sourcing give strong traceability, but AYA openly states it withholds full supplier information as a competitive measure and does not name the specific farms, herding communities or spinners, so upstream disclosure remains partial.

How it was read
Throne identifies the eligible textile products in AYA's catalogue, inspects each product for published material evidence and requires at least 20 scoreable textile SKUs before publishing a brand score. The score uses only products with enough published material information to classify. Brand non-disclosure and technical read failures are reported separately. Non-textile products are excluded rather than counted as a pass or a fail.
