Objects that deepen under scrutiny. Made by hands that required no permission to be excellent. For eyes that know what they are looking at.
The Scarf Collection
Our inaugural accessories collection consists of nine scarves made of pure mulberry silk. Each piece is created by hand, by the Pastos indigenous master women artisans from Southern Colombia. The silk is cultivated, hand-spun and dyed by an Afro-Colombian women association from Western Colombia. Carefully woven on a vertical pre-Columbian loom, the Guanga, the scarves carry millennia-old Andean symbols which have been passed down from generation to generation.

About
The oldest things are not fragile. They are what remains. Some hands never stopped making them. There are eyes that recognise something before the world has a name for it. Not because they learned to see. Because they always could.
We make objects that deepen under scrutiny. In highlands, in workshops, in hands that required no permission to be excellent. Mastery was never invented. It was always being practiced. Inca Noir is where those hands and those eyes find each other.
