About the collection
"Ancestral Synergy" is a capsule collection that fuses ancestral techniques with contemporary design. This collection is a tribute to cultural richness and contemporary creativity. Each design is the result of an exceptional collaboration between indigenous artisan women and organizations committed to preserving and reimagining ancestral artisanal traditions.
The skilled hands of artisans weave not only threads but also memories and meaning. Every motif, every line, echoes stories that invite us to connect deeply with our roots and reflect on the enduring significance of our cultural heritage.

Manifesto
Innovation Rooted in Cultural Heritage
In this show, we demonstrate how innovation can thrive without losing sight of tradition. Our collection incorporates ancestral textile techniques, reimagined for contemporary fashion, inspiring a deep connection to cultural heritage while setting new trends in today’s market.
Each design is an invitation to connect with the past and the wisdom passed down through generations. More than just patterns, our creations serve as a tangible link to our Indigenous roots and culture. In a world where identity can easily be lost, textiles become a powerful reminder of who we are, where we come from, and where we are headed.
Diversity & Inclusion: Redefining Aesthetics Through New Perspectives
We take pride in challenging conventional fashion and design narratives by embracing an aesthetic rooted in our artisanal roots and their deep connection to materials, colors, and patterns. This approach allows us to present fashion that is not only visually striking but also ethical and deeply connected to our Indigenous cultural roots.
Commitment to Sustainability and Social Justice
More than a fashion presentation, our runway collection is a statement of values. We strive to provide consumers with a shopping experience that goes beyond aesthetics—one that supports fair trade and a collaborative economy that benefits everyone involved.
Supported by organizations, designers, and members of the collective who walk alongside us, we build bridges of collaboration, creativity, and resilience.
