WICHILHENAY

Featured in: Time Weavers

Collection by:

The first collective clothing collection, which in the translated Wichi language means “made by the Wichi,” reflects the identity and culture of the Wichi textile history and its significance as a sacred element of community knowledge. Each piece is inspired by textile heritage, encompassing everything related to culture, mountains, plants and animals, and people, in order to capture them into the different weavings and techniques that become clothing, accessories and footwear. The collection is a meeting point between the new and traditional. Our garments are in honour of traditions, history and the survival of our identity as Indigenous people.
