The journey from crop to cut and sew sees each garment pass through a team of hands, each dedicated to developing and sustaining an economy around working with native variations of pigmented cotton in Peru. New generations of local vendors have organized every level of production to ensure quality and ecologically responsible methods.
Naturally pigmented cotton has grown wild in parts of Peru for centuries, despite the proliferation of traditional ‘white’ cotton agriculture across the region. Cultivating the naturally colored and undyed varieties protects them from the threat of extinction, as forested areas are repurposed at a steady pace.
Undyed IOAN Wild products are made from top quality, local and naturally pigmented cotton, loomed in its original state, cut and sewn into garments.
