FABRIC & CARE
Due to the intricate embroidery work, we recommend washing and drying on delicate settings, iron on low.
ARTISAN COMMUNITY
It takes our artisan makers 18 days to make one dress.
The process beings when the cotton 'manta' is cut up in patterns, sewn together washed by hand and dried in order to pre-shrink materials before embroidery taking up to 4 days. From there, the artisans use a small hoop to stretch the fabric and embroider the designs using selected threads taking 14 days at minimum to complete. After that process another 2-4 women crochet taking up to 2 days. Each of these garments reflect generations of traditions for these artisans, making each piece a one-of-a-kind work of art.
