About me / About business or organisation:
Poyen is making the world a better place, How? In a very simple manner.
Poyen is handmade, multi-functional, stylish headwear made by women that live in high social risk environments.

The designs are inspired by nature, and are the answer to cold climates in a very cozy and fashionable way.The hats are suitable for everyone from 0 to 99 years old and are high quality. They are technically constructed and are unique with models to suit all fashion styles.

Poyen Headwear adds to the world of fashion a symbol of social change and hope. At the same time then company provides real support for those in need.

Poyen has spent 6 years introducing their hats to the Chilean and International markets. They have had a great reception worldwide and fabulous feedback from their clients, nevertheless as with small business in Chile they have encountered some difficulties with the big distributors and retail markets, who do not understand or value our role in social empowerment. Poyen is supporting local families and this real value of their mission.

But the determination and spirit of Poyen is strong and the team will not let this Project die.They want to show the world that through a symbol as simple as a hat, social change can be achieved. This can be part of the answer and the first step for a fairer world, giving women a chance to work from their homes using their natural skills and talent.

And at the same time, they invite us to be part of a world in which each person can make a stand about what kind of society we want, in every decision we make.

¨ We want to be an option , A social Design Symbol , who is calling you from Chile to fly high and be a new World Trend ¨
