Carla Fernández and her team travel throughout Mexico visiting communities of artisans that specialize in handmade textiles and crafts utilizing centuries-old indigenous techniques. They work closely with the artisans at the onset of each project, where their skills in weaving or hand looming are an integral part of the production of new pieces and collections. The artisans become creative partners and are compensated fairly for their contributions and this labor-intensive approach helps sustain long-standing traditions, preserving the rich cultural heritage of Mexico’s indigenous communities.
