Step into our fashion boutique where elegance meets trendsetting style
KrisMarce is a purpose-driven luxury brand rooted in the heart of Colombia’s Pacific Region. We work hand in hand with local artisans, tribal leaders, and community elders to create refined, culturally rich designs that honor the deep ancestry of the region. Each piece we produce is a luxurious symbol of tradition, identity, and resilience.
Our collections are inspired by the stories, techniques, and spirit of the Pacific—offering the world a glimpse into a region often left on the margins. By sharing
this heritage through globally accessible products, we bring visibility and opportunity to communities that have long been underrepresented.
Our Mission
To elevate the voices, artistry, and culture of Colombia’s Pacific Region—merging ancestral craftsmanship with modern luxury, while creating meaningful economic and social impact.
Kristie M.R. Ayala proudly hails from Quibdó, Chocó, in Colombia’s vibrant Pacific Region. She stands as a powerful example of what can happen when opportunity meets preparation and purpose. Her personal journey—marked by resilience, ambition, and a deep love for her roots—inspired the creation of KrisMarce.
Driven by a desire to merge her professional expertise with her passion for community impact, Kristie founded KrisMarce as a way to give back to the region that shaped her. What began as a vision to uplift her hometown has grown into a platform for empowerment, opportunity, and cultural pride.
