DIALOGUES BETWEEN ANCESTRAL TRADITION AND CONTEMPORARY DESIGN

Our Materials

Our focus is on using materials of Argentine origin, creating job opportunities for local
artisans and promoting the sustainable use of local raw materials.

Merino Wool

Known for its exceptional softness, warmth, and breathability. Its fine and luxurious texture ensures superior comfort and excellent performance.

Llama Wool

Valued for its warmth, durability, and natural water resistance. Although coarser than vicuña and merino, it provides excellent insulation with a rustic and robust charm.

Vicuña Wool

Referred to as the "golden fleece of the Andes," it is extremely rare and prized. Sourced from wild vicuñas, it is exceptionally soft, lightweight, and offers excellent insulating
properties.

Beef Leather

Argentine beef leather, known for its high quality and durability, mainly comes as a byproduct
of the meat industry and from animals that have died of natural causes. This approach not only ensures ethical use of resources but also maintains high standards

Our Techniques

Given the limited availability of organic and biotechnological materials in our country, we
create original materials using our own looms, textiles, and embroidery, ensuring that our pieces are unique and timeless.
