Garments made from natural wool from llamas or sheep knitted with loom usually have a rustic feel that not always adequate to modern styles. Argentine brand Cubreme has come to change that completely.

This line of modern-classic coats is absolutely exquisite, yet produced with the help of artisan workers with noble materials from the Andean regions of Argentina and Peru.

Cubreme was founded by designer Alejandra Gottelli, who has been involved in creating with renewable resources, and under environmentally and socially responsible practices for the past three years. The brand works with organic and natural threads and wool, from camelids and sheep raised in their natural environment in the Argentine and Peruvian andes, and ethically treated.

Fabrics are developed by artisan workshops (no artificial dyes involved) and the final confection is done in tailor shops, where they get a high couture finishing. This way the brand achieves a very short productive chain that takes care of environmental and social factors.
