Fashion Week is one of the most important events of the year for fashion brands. We were incredibly lucky to be able to show our collection at the Emerge show in London. A collection designed to make those who wear it feel good with easy-to-wear designs, soft fabrics, and an ethical ethos behind it. The collection combines traditional Andean weaving techniques with modern designs, and improves the lives of whole communities in the process.

Look 3: The show-stopping burgundy two-piece
This stunning outfit combines a simple design with distinctive features to achieve a stylish look. Its high waist trousers with pockets make it a comfortable choice for dress-up events. The handwoven motifs on its waist add a focal point and distinguish it from your usual suit trousers. The oversized cropped t-shirt breaks the otherwise serious design and gives you plenty of room to move. A favourite among actors and dancers who need a stylish but comfortable outfit that doesn't restrict movement.
The motif on its waist is made up of Xs and rhombuses. The Xs represent the paths in and around the community where our weavers live, and the rhombuses represent the small lakes you can find in their mountains.
Paired with handmade Peruvian silver 950 jewellery featuring chrysocolla stone, which is known for its balancing and anxiety-reducing properties, you'll achieve an unbeatable look!
