We work closely with indigenous female artisans, completely dedicated to the processes of natural fibers using ancestral techniques that form the soul of their culture.
From collecting raw materials like wool, cotton, or local plant leaves to vegetable tanning, their craftsmanship allows us to enhance our creations, cloaked in tangible poetry.
