COMPANY INFORMATION

Sharing a background in textiles, rather than fashion, Petra Brichnacova and Esteban Saba recognized a fundamental quantity-over-quality problem with the clothing industry, whether you shopped fast fashion or luxury labels. Avowed minimalists, the husband-and-wife team’s idea was simple: a hardworking yet luxurious wardrobe of versatile, beautifully made pieces with a backstory you could feel good about. With her background in textile design and luxury retail, Petra knew firsthand the relationship between quality and sustainability. Part of three generations of textile production in Peru, Esteban knew precisely how, where and by whom the finest garments could be made.
