Materials & technique

Precision
begins in the hands.

Choosing the fiber, preparing the thread, and finding the tension of the weave. Every decision changes how a garment feels.

Peruvian material

Choose according to the piece.

Composition is defined for each commission. These materials are part of our exploration.

Alpaca

An Andean-origin fiber for exploring warmth, softness, and volume.

Vicuna

An exceptional choice, subject to availability and documentation of its provenance.

Peruvian cotton

Pima and Tangüis in the search for lighter garments for different climates and movement.

Colored threads held taut during weaving

Weave

Time
becomes a weave.

The backstrap loom demands attention to every crossing. We want to bring that precision to a contemporary piece while preserving recognition of the knowledge that makes it possible.

Construction

What it feels like.
What remains.

The texture, the opening of a fastening, the fall of a sleeve. Construction is better understood up close.

Composition, layers, finishes, and care are agreed in each piece's record. Technical specifications are confirmed before reserving.

The interior

A mark
that you carry with you.

The label, identification, and personal detail belong inside. Embroidery is decided in conversation: it may be abstract, discreet, or tone-on-tone.

Care

Make it continue.

Keep its shape

Follow the label instructions and keep the piece clean, dry, and with its layers uncompressed.

Cleaning and maintenance

Treatment depends on composition and finishes. Check your garment record before washing it or taking it to a specialist cleaner.

Before repair

Write to us with photographs of the detail. We will review the options with you based on the material and construction.
