[ THE FABRIC & THE PROCESS ]
We use fine merino wool produced locally. Most of the Merino wool produced in Uruguay is exported as a raw material all over the world, so we wanted to bring the value of this wonderful product back to where it is from! Also, since we have contact with the raw material from the beginning, we are able to creatively intervene very early in the textile process.
We knit the wool and exposed the knitted panels to heat and movement (similar to boiled wool) creating a irregular soft felt-like fabric. Later we vat dye the panels and then we cut every single piece of the garment by hand, carefully selecting each part of the fabric, hand printing them with our original pattern, to create unique and beautiful pieces.

[ PHILOSOPHY ]
We advocate for the "Slow Fashion Movement." We want that our creations, inspired by art, to last. When we create and develop our own color palette and we take our time to develop each garment. We choose merino wool as the local raw material for its quality and sustainability. Combining thoughtful mobility, the preservation of natural resources, local production and a dialogue between nature and the inner self. We design by keeping in mind sustainable development and the destination of their material. Slow fashion is not just about responding to trends. It is a mentality that involves thinking about provenance and buying something that won't look unfashionable after just one season.
