Las Niñas Textiles

SPR/AUTUMN 19

Layering up my favourite item in the Las Niñas Textiles range. . 100% Cotton Kaftans. Created on a Back strap loom individually in one piece. . Then the Neck is cut out and the sides Crochet together. . A process that can take between 4-6 weeks depending how much time the Artisan has to work on her loom. . I source these Kaftans directly from those adorable Artisans, who have become friends as we share our hopes and dreams in my visits. . Their Village as remote and as beautiful as many that i visit. . Made with Love & Integrity. . It’s time to ask your favourite labels......”Who made my Clothes?” . Because it’s @fash_rev week all week. And time to think about #whomademyclothes #whomadeyourclothes . I have you covered, it’s been my mode of operation since 1997 🌸🙏🏼 I have been passionate about this forever xx
So proud to share with you that I know the makers of almost everything I sell. . Knowing who made my clothes has been my mode of operation for over three decades now. . Meeting and spending time with the Artisans makes my life rich. . And the reason behind Las Niñas Textiles ❤️🎀❤️ . It’s #fashionrevolutionweek and time for all of us to consider “Who made our Clothes?” . Take a look at the label in your clothes today. . And ask if you are curios, it’s a wonderful way to honour the Planet & it’s inhabitants. . Feliz “EARTH DAY” as well 🙏🏼🌏🙏🏼
I hope your weekend was incredible and that you were surrounded by friends and family. . I am getting itchy feet as I plan my next adventure and dream about far away places I love to return to. . This was Oaxaca in March, i adore it’s vastness and Ancient beauty and my memories of it when it was a smaller unexplored town. . Here soaking up it’s natural beauty at the ruins, in my one of a kind Cornflour Blue Española Dress, with love from México 🙏🏼
Vintage Fabrics and Dresses have always been the essence of my Wardrobe. . Shopping at the Opportunity Shop was something that started in High School as I waited for the bus 😉 . Who has the same passion? . Here I have combined a Vintage 2 Birds Dress with my favourite wardrobe stable A Huipil & Indigo Shirt Dress (made from Vintage Huipils & Indigo Fabric) Oh and the beautiful Kate Bag made from a divine Vintage Huipil and hand laced leather x . I’m not supposed to be sharing these pieces yet, ssssshhhhh !!! . I’ll tag them with their “Sisters” available online for you. And you know how to purchase before their listed!! X . 🎀🐣👜👗
Got to spend a couple of hours with my favourite Artisan this morning, Julia. . A massive Cafe Laté revived me suffiently after a wonderful night dancing Salsa. . Julia is the creator of so many of my beautiful Bracelets, Earrings and Necklaces, ill tag a couple for you to see. . Sending lots of Easter cheer 🐣💐💜
On @igtvnew today, Ita Florencia, tells me about her Towns traditions of attaching Ribbons to your Necklaces to inform others of your Marital Status. . I am so great full to share these stories with you, it’s a joy and an education here in Latin America for me. . One day I will find a way of adding subtitles to them for you so my friends who do not speak Spanish can understand a little more as well. . With love at Easter 🐣 🎀🌸
Packing & Preparing my newest creations to ship back to Australia today. . This is the Zaria Dress made from recycled Huipils & Skirts & new Bum Bag with secret zipper x . Each one Unique and designed and created by Maria & Myself. . PM me about each item as they are one of a kind. . With love Zara🌸🐣
Had the most fun this morning, playing with my new creations in the streets of Mèxico City. . Hours and hours of work coming together in front of the camera today. . Creating Wardrobes for a cooler climate or one that is constantly changing is a challenge. . But the fabrics and styles I have chosen are adaptable, long lasting and do not belong to any particular “ERA” so they can be worn for years and years. It’s the most common compliment I receive as a Designer 🌸 . Timeless Fashion is the answer to this throw away society. . Quality pieces that can be worn and washed many times. . Your answer to this Fashion Revolution because “Loved Clothes Last” @fash_rev
