Learning where RED comes from

The depth of red in Teotitlán del Valle

Designs inspired by the artisans of Teotitlán del Valle

I’ve just returned from the vibrant pueblo of Teotitlán del Valle, a Zapotec village where the history of textiles is woven into their culture.
Spending my days with these artisans who harvest cochineal (small bugs from the red cactus fruit), I learned how to create dyes of incredible depth and substance. And while we don't use these specific techniques in our studio, the lesson of patience and ethical dyeing is a gift I’m bringing back to you.

My designs are a fusion of these global inspirations: the raw, wabi-sabi inspired fashion of Japan meeting the clean lines of Scandinavian minimalist clothing. Whether it’s our sustainable alpaca wool sweaters or our airy Japanese cotton dresses, each piece is a reflection of my journey.

This is contemporary minimalist womenswear with a heart that beats for the whole world.
 
I am so grateful to share my story with you; through my limited-edition designer clothing, I hope you feel the journey in every stitch.
