it’s about respecting the process, the artisans, and the longevity of what we create.
Yaosca Jackson is the visionary force behind YAO Heritage, a conscious fashion brand where the luxury of leather and the poetry of patina converge as elevated elements of timeless heritage. A creative designer and cultural storyteller, Yaosca crafts pieces that honor both ancestral techniques and modern sophistication.
Her work is built on three core values:
Integrity – ethical craftsmanship that respects artisans and materials.
Reciprocity – creating a dialogue between cultures and giving back to the communities that inspire her.
Earth Reverence – designing with intention, minimizing impact, and honoring natural resources.
Each YAO Heritage piece is a living heirloom, shaped by time and touch. Through her vision, Yaosca is redefining luxury fashion as a movement of healing, connection, and remembrance where leather becomes a canvas for heritage and the future.
The Artisans: House of Heritage is the soul of YAO a sacred space where ancestral knowledge flows from one generation to the next like a quiet prayer. Our artisans come from Masaya, Nicaragua, known as the cultural cradle of the nation a vibrant nest of folklore, music, and masterful craft. In Masaya, artistry is not learned; it is inherited, lived, and felt.
Each piece is crafted in deep reverence, where the work becomes a form of living meditation a ritual of honoring the land, the lineage, and the spirit of creation. The hands that shape our leather carry decades, even centuries, of tradition, passed down through families who see their labor as devotion.
Here, in the House of Heritage, every stitch is a story, every cut a gesture of care. Quality is born from presence. In this home, heritage is not preserved it is embodied.

YAO was born on the sun kissed shores of San Juan del Sur, where the jungle meets the sea and ancestral memory lingers in every grain of sand. It began as a whisper a calling to preserve sacred craft, honor the land, and dress the spirit in truth and beauty.
What started as a small atelier rooted in Nicaraguan soil has now blossomed into a galactic movement one that transcends borders, timelines, and trends.
Today, YAO moves across continents, carried by those who walk with intention and believe fashion can heal, awaken, and remember. YAO is a cultural frequency a movement of elegance, soul, and legacy.
At the heart of our journey is a bold dream:
to create conscious communities in the most fashion-influential destinations on the planet from Paris to Tokyo, Copenhagen to Mexico City where style becomes ceremony and heritage holds space for the future.
We are rooted in San Juan del Sur. Now we speak to the world and beyond. AHO!!!
