Through collaboration with women artisans, the brand connects to the human element of design and handcrafted production. The project evolved organically through a desire to preserve traditional textile heritage, appreciation for contemporary handcraft, and a commitment to bringing social development through economic empowerment. The label is designed in Buenos Aires and produced entirely by hand using locally-sourced natural fibers in communities Argentina and Bolivia. Read their story
