Who we are
Our story
What is AlgoNatural?
AlgoNatural is a natural fashion store born from an idea by Marisol Cifuentes.
Why this project?
Marisol wanted to launch a new project that would not only sell fashionable, everyday clothing, but also focus on sustainability and respect for our health and the environment.
When?
It opened its doors in April 2015, in Piazza San Cristoforo in Udine, and turned out to be the first shop of its kind in the Friulian town.
How does it evolve?
Just a couple of years later, in 2017, it also became the reference agency for other stores, under the name AndesOrganic.
Now, AlgoNatural and AndesOrganic are a point of reference for cruelty-free and eco-sustainable fashion throughout the region and for several stores throughout Italy.

Philosophy
Our philosophy leads us to care about the origin and treatment of the fibers that make up our products, but also about environmental protection, workers' rights, and the health of our customers.
Did you know that…
With Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) It refers to an international standard used for the certification of natural fibres and which includes ecological and social criteria.
It consists of an independent certification system of the entire textile production chain.
The companies with GOTS certification They are checked annually, in addition to being subjected to spontaneous checks.
And this is why GOTS meets the strictest criteria when it comes to natural fibres.
Why AlgoNatural?
The name AlgoNatural is in Spanish because it is intended to recall the Colombian origins of the project's creator, Marisol, who moved to Udine for love only a few years ago.
AlgoNatural it marries different meanings that embrace our philosophy. Algo, in particular, can be seen as an abbreviation for cotton (cotton), a raw material that makes up a vast selection of our garments, but which also means “something,” useful for contemplating “everything” belonging to the category of natural.
The name will therefore mean, something natural perfectly reflecting every product sold within our store.
A story of natural fashion… in numbers.
AlgoNatural takes a 360° approach to sustainability, catering to the entire family, from 0 to 99 years old, and offering a vast selection of products ranging from underwear to home accessories.
Our goals
Since the AlgoNatural project began, we have achieved many goals, some more predictable than others, but all have helped us reach the awareness and experience we have now.
These are precisely what allow us to increasingly satisfy our customers and their requests, hoping to be able to evolve further thanks to you.
