Lusciously textured garments, organically handmade stitch by stitch with dedication and patience, gradually become pieces of wearable art.

 

Bare hands weave natural threads, translating them into sculptures made for the female form with sophisticated and timeless techniques.

 

These slow processes that value every detail, contain within them the genuine desire to provide comfort and elegance for women who honor their own authenticity.

 

Isa Catepillán presents 'ANCESTRA', a collection dedicated to the female lineages that preceded her life's work, those whose knowledge came down generation by generation, up until this moment. Especially the Mapuche-Williche women, Indigenous to Chiloé Island in the South of Chile, where Isa finds her roots.

 

 

"It still feels strange to call it fashion

because for me it is more like a prayer"
