STORY OF THE PIECE
Memoria Tikuna was conceived as a contemporary interpretation of the utilitarian garments that have accompanied generations over time. Its name honors cultural memory and the transmission of knowledge, reflecting a vision in which design becomes a vehicle for identity, continuity, and meaning.
Its generous structure, extended shoulders, and workwear-inspired details are balanced by the visual softness of the medium-blue wash, creating a garment that exists at the intersection of functionality and aesthetic expression.
Designed to transcend fleeting trends, Memoria Tikuna embodies a conscious approach to dressing—one where material quality, precise craftsmanship, and the symbolic value of every detail converge in a garment created to endure.
