COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
Our commitment to sustainability stems from our respect for the people who make each garment possible, our dedication to preserving our environment, and our desire to create pieces that stand the test of time.
We are committed to local manufacturing, carried out entirely in local workshops and by artisans, which allows us to guarantee fair working conditions and maintain exhaustive control over the quality of each design. Craftsmanship not only adds cultural value, but also contributes to a more sustainable model by prioritizing careful processes, unique pieces, and a conscious pace of production.
We design garments that are built to last. Timelessness, excellence in craftsmanship, and the choice of resistant and noble materials are the basis of our strategy to promote more thoughtful consumption, away from ephemeral fashion.
We promote the use of fabrics with low environmental impact, certified materials, and recycled or recyclable options, prioritizing suppliers that guarantee traceability.
We develop our processes with a philosophy of minimal waste, through exhaustive control of production volumes, reuse of textile surpluses, and continuous improvement in all phases of creation.
We are guided by transparency and continuous improvement, with the aim of creating garments that respect people, the environment, and the essence of well-made fashion.
