A quarter of movement.

Sales across Turrialba and Flamingo held at $19K for the quarter. In early May, we closed the Flamingo storefront — not reactively, but as part of a longer conversation about where physical presence actually makes sense for us. We are looking at hotel partnerships and coastal retail formats that put our products in front of travelers without anchoring us to a fixed lease.

Amber McNeil, our first-ever intern, came back for nearly two months. She held down the Flamingo storefront — the day-to-day of the shop, the customers, the floor — and stepped in wherever else she was needed. She also spent a week living alongside Carolina at the Wearsos apartment. Someone who already knows how we work and why, and that trust shows the moment she walks back in.

This quarter, Wearsos hosted over 50 guests across 11 groups — Discover Corps regenerative tourism experiences, academic faculty visits, and purpose-driven partners who came to learn about businesses for good firsthand. April through July.

April May June July

Q2 was the quarter the team spread out. Panama, Nashville, Toronto, Denver — and back home in Costa Rica. Each stop had a different purpose, and each one landed differently than expected.

• Panama City

  Panama Sustainable Fashion Show by Catwalk Pros — Chris, Lynne, and Angela attended as VIP vendors at the Ciudad de las Artes. They visited Simple AF, a similar social enterprise who inspired how we could improve our workshop back home. We reconnected with Lexi Muller from Southwest Airlines who has been an amazing Wearsos ambassador who just happened to be at the Biennial of the Americas. At the event, we made key connections with the Ministers of Culture of Panama, Trinidad, and Costa Rica. View photos →

  
• Nashville, TN

  Tennessee Craft Show. We had our artist in-residence representing Wearsos in Nashville. Taking Wearsos to a craft show like this is exactly whaw we want: to look for partnerships that grow our reach, finding the rooms where the right people gather, and showing up.

• Toronto, ON

  Growing the Future @ the University of Toronto | Climate Week, June 2. Angela brought products to represent Wearsos at the Schwartz Reisman Innovation Campus during Toronto Climate Week — a meaningful placement in a room full of people who care about sustainability and impact.

• Turrialba, CR

  Communication workshop with the team. An in-house workshop on active listening, giving and receiving feedback, and sharing context across cultural backgrounds and roles. For a social enterprise where every interaction is both a brand moment and a mission moment, this is not a soft skill. It is our infrastructure. View photos →

• Denver, CO

  Southwest Special Order — Outdoor Days. Southwest placed a special order of three Vilma Backpacks for their Outdoor Days event, May 29–31. A clean B2B moment that shows what the product means in the right context. View photos →

  Tourism Cares Meaningful Travel Map: Wearsos is now officially listed — a certification that places us alongside vetted sustainable tourism experiences globally. View our listing.

• San José, CR

  During Climate Week at the University of Costa Rica, we brought Wearsos to connect with local students. Conversations ranged from the mechanics of upcycling airplane leather to the bigger question of what circular design can look like at scale. View photos →
