The appreciation of traditional know-how from South America is fundamental to our commitments. We collaborate with indigenous female artisans who are fully engaged in the processes of natural fibers, utilizing ancestral techniques unique to their culture. From the collection of raw materials such as wool, cotton, or local plant leaves to vegetable tanning, their work allows us to elevate our creations.
