Let’s drive forward the solutions that will reimagine the textile industry — weaving sustainability, traceability, and conscious design into every thread.

BECOME_edited.png

We present our first Open Innovation Program, where, as a Peruvian textile company, we are committed to collaborating with startups to solve real challenges in the field, traceability, and responsible production.

​

We are looking for technological and sustainable solutions that create a direct impact on small producers, climate resilience, and the organic cotton value chain.
