VERDE – 2018In a trip we discovered Rio de Janeiro’s botanical garden, a magical place with an endless array of multicoloured flowers, leaves and trunks. This was our collection’s inspiration: the colours and designs of orchids, palms, and striped tropical leaves. Nature as a muse.

MOTAS & RAYAS – 2017We decided to come back to bovine fur, but this time exploring contrast: both in the furs’ colouring with marked spots, as well as in the textiles where the designs used clean and vibrant colours. It was a visual exploration of textures, where we were looking for a fun and dynamic conversation between colour (neutral and bright), spots, and simple striped patterning.

GEOMETRY – 2016An art exhibit from 2015 in the Museo de Arte de Lima called “The other side: geometric painting in Peru (1947 – 1958)” was our inspiration. Our colouring, as well as the textures and the rhythm of the stripes, came from the paintings of Benjamin Moncloa, Jorge Piqueras, Emilio Rodríguez Larraín, Aníbal Santiváñez and Fernando de Szyszlo. It was a wonderful design exercise, a way of not only creating beautiful objects, but also of honouring our excellent artists.

AL NATURAL – 2015In this occasion we set aside bright colours in order to work with neutrals. We were inspired by the variety and tones of natural Argentinian bovine fur, so we tried to imitate them in our textile design through colours and textures. When we joined textile and fur, a new and unexpected design appeared in each handbag, surprising us every time.

FINLAND – 2014Being great admirers of Finnish design, we were inspired by its simplicity, clean colours and scale play, to create this geometric collection that aspired to be minimalist and fun at the same time. It is fascinating to see how we can create dynamic movement with very few shapes and colours.

CAMBIAMOS – 2013
“If you change the way you see things, the things you see, change.” – Wayne Dyer

Inspired by recycling, in this collection we tried something completely different: we combined our handmade textiles from Cajamarca with scraps of old fabrics, giving them a new life and transforming them into unique pieces with history.

BUTTONS – 2011
In the final sale of a small dressmaking business that was closing, we bought all of the buttons they had and decided to incorporate them in our handbags for this collection. The textile design was made out of our own remainders of yarn stock at the time, playing with different rythms and textures that would become the base on which to place the buttons. It was a fun and very organic design process.

PLAY – 2011
The geometry of the licllas, a Peruvian textile used by women in the southern part of the country as part of their traditional attire, was our inspiration. We created this collection by playing with shapes and colours to recall Peruvian Andean design through clean cut figures, looking for a way to evoke tradition from a new and modern point of view.
