Who We Are
Neococo Collective addresses the systemic barriers refugee, immigrant and displaced womxn face in achieving economic independence and community integration while resettling in the United States. We believe that when women are given tools, training, and trust, they can lead transformative change—in their own lives and in the communities around them.
Our Programs
Neococo Empowerment Program
The Neococo Empowerment Program was created to transform lived experiences into pathways of employment, using art and design as catalysts for both healing and opportunity.
Neococo Funding Program
The Neococo Funding Program was created to provide microgrants for immigrant and refugee women so they can turn their ideas into sustainable livelihoods.
Wraparound Services
When barriers such as childcare, transportation, or language gaps are addressed, participation is strengthened and lasting independence is made possible.
Artisan-Made. Human-Centered.
Our Products
Neococo Collective products are hand-embroidered and artisan-made, with timeless craftsmanship blended seamlessly with modern design. Cultural traditions and personal stories are carried within each piece, as familiar skills are transformed into sustainable livelihoods.
Supporting Local Economy
Made in Los Angeles
We work with local factories to ensure fair and ethical production while reducing environmental impact. By keeping our work local, we strengthen the city’s economy and create meaningful job opportunities for immigrant women who call Los Angeles home. Every purchase directly supports both the artisans and the broader local community, fostering growth and sustainability.
Softness with a Story
Baby Essentials
Rooted in care and culture, our baby collection brings warmth, comfort, and purpose to every family it touches. Each piece is designed as a timeless heirloom, crafted with hand embroidery and artisan techniques that transform everyday essentials into keepsakes to be treasured for generations. More than baby products, they are symbols of love, resilience, and the shared stories of women artisans whose traditions are stitched into every detail.
I've been loving the feminine, hand-embroidered designs from this brand, each sewn by women refugees.
