Spanish Threads - About Us
We pull inspiration from nature, sunshine pop, dreams, and old coffee-stained family film photographs. Our pieces, too, are inspired by all the 1960s and 1970s stylish mamas and papas we've had the pleasure of living vicariously through, thanks to the photographs and films they left behind. Designed and handmade from scratch with more love than you can imagine by the designer's Colombian mother, every piece is hand-crafted to make you feel like the most stylish fox in town with a penchant for vintage-inspired threads.
During production, there's love traveling all around town. Starting from the family-owned fabric shops we source from that have known my mother from the moment she moved to the United States, and myself as a toddler -- all the way back to the studio, where we work fulfilling orders and carefully packaging all of our special garments to begin their journey straight to you.
We source all our materials from other small local businesses because we believe in slow fashion. What is slow fashion you may ask... Well, it's when the entire garment making process is 100% ethical and leaves little to no waste behind, recycling all materials and striving to be as sustainable as possible. It's our attempt at creating beautiful clothing for you, but leaving the environment-harming pollutants and waste product behind. So when you purchase any of items, you're creating a chain reaction of MAGIC and supporting dozens of other small local businesses at the same time.
We are a small female-owned + family-ran business that strives to deliver nothing but the best craftsmanship you can find in a garment made today. We lovingly hand-make each piece to last many lifetimes, and hand-iron all garments prior to shipment to ensure they arrive as beautifully and wrinkle-free as they are when fresh off our sewing machine.
