Pachamamita Designs

My creations are "re-mixes" of authentic traditional textile work with urban street wear. It's a way for me to embrace my culture and my roots in a way that also honors my present day experience and ideally to share that with others coming from similar backgrounds. I am particularly drawn to Latin American indigenous textiles because of my Colombian heritage. I choose to integrate these textiles i

nto my work because I have a lot of respect for the hard working hands, most often women's hands, that are responsible for creating these beautiful woven creations that carry so many stories, culture, and history. Pachamamita visions include story-telling and activism through long-term fair-trade relationships with the women and communities where these textiles are made. Through these relationships, resources can be shared with the communities and their stories can be shared with the rest of the world.
