Quito Airport Inaugurates New SULA Store
Quito’s Mariscal Sucre International Airport expands its retail offerings with the opening of the first store in the country for the Ecuadorian sustainable fashion brand SULA. Located in the domestic departures area, near pre-boarding hall A3, this new space provides passengers with a selection that combines design, local identity, and environmental commitment, just before they begin their journey.
SULA was founded in 2022 by Ecuadorian artisans and operates under a responsible production model: all its garments are 100% made in Ecuador, using certified sustainable fabrics such as recycled polyester (GRS), organic cotton (GOTS), and linen, as well as responsible dyeing processes that recycle the water used. The garments are made in collaboration with women artisans who are heads of household, solidifying fashion as a tool for positive social impact.
Inspired by the Andes, the Amazon, the Pacific, and the Galápagos Islands, the brand takes its name from the blue-footed booby (Sula nebouxii), a symbol of its commitment to biodiversity. Furthermore, SULA is a carbon-neutral fashion brand, a pioneer in Ecuador in obtaining this certification by measuring, reducing, and offsetting its emissions through eco-friendly processes.
“It is a pleasure to add to our commercial offerings a brand created by Ecuadorian hands, representing sustainable fashion and local talent. With this first SULA store in the country, we continue to strengthen the passenger experience within the airport, integrating identity, sustainability, and purposeful offerings,” stated Ramón Miró, President and CEO of Corporación Quiport.
