Born with the vision of transforming fashion into an act of well-being and resistance, Collectiva Concepción emerges as a living tribute to Mexico's artisan communities.
More than a brand, it is a manifesto made garment: an effort to weave authentic connections between contemporary luxury and the cultural roots that sustain the country.
The brand is based on 3 pillars:
Vogue México has applauded their ability to reinvent folklore with respect and freshness, creating pieces that escape cliché and embrace the timeless.
Today, Collectiva Concepción holds the banner of the socially conscious, supporting more than forty rural communities and strengthening micro-economies led by women.
Each creation returns dignity and visibility to ancestral knowledge, while a percentage of sales is directly reinvested in those same communities.
Yakampot was born from the desire to rescue and transform textile traditions into a language of timeless design.
Its name, Yakampot, means "place where water is born" in Tzotzil; it is also the name of a small town in San Juan Chamula, where the story began to be woven thanks to Priscila, a 17-year-old who, upon learning Spanish, paved the way for her community to join this project.
At Yakampot, as at Anette, they believe that dressing is an act of presence and memory. Clothing not only covers but also communicates, protects, and connects.
Each garment is a manifesto of respect for inherited knowledge and an empathetic response to current environmental and social challenges.
Here, innovation and tradition engage in unhurried dialogue, creating a textile refuge where the past and the future intertwine, embroidering identity in every stitch.

From Mexico City to the world, Guillermo Jester returned to CDMX after having traveled through London with suitcases full of European cuts and a soul vibrating to the rhythm of Mexico.
In the melting pot of cultures, he found in fashion a profound and liberating response.
His mantra: "fashion must be free, without gender labels", became the echo that propelled his creative vision. Thus began his journey towards the deconstruction of gender identities, challenging an industry that, in those days, was still chained to rigid and predefined conventions.
For Jester, fashion is an act of freedom and absolute rebellion, a canvas where authenticity and personal expression dance without borders.
In his universe, each garment is a declaration of independence, where the only thing that matters is the true essence of the wearer.
Caralarga is not just a name; it is a manifesto.
Born from a passion for rescuing the forgotten, this Mexican firm elevates raw cotton, especially that which others discard due to weaving errors, and transforms it into pieces that are pure textile art.
In their workshop, sustainability is not a trend; it is a principle: each creation is the result of a deeply collaborative process, where artisans apply ancestral techniques to give new life to the material.
Caralarga's jewelry and clothing do not follow the haste of fast fashion; here, each piece is crafted with the time, dedication, and love that the authentic demands.
The result: works that not only adorn but also tell stories of conscious recycling, respect for the environment, and enduring beauty.
On the horizon of fashion, each creator traces with needle and thread a map of dreams where tradition merges with the avant-garde.
They are mentors of a collective narrative that breathes identity and reinvention: their workshops beat to the rhythm of old legends transformed into contemporary silhouettes.
Each stitch is a verse that whispers stories of generations, inviting us to explore landscapes of color and form never before imagined.
Anette is a fundamental part of this new era.
Born from the legacy of a woman whose passion for haute couture today becomes an exquisite curation, Anette not only celebrates conscious fashion but is also a platform for those seeking to give life to new proposals in the universe of Mexican fashion.
Here, each garment is a manifesto of enduring elegance. Anette honors the past and, at the same time, projects itself towards a more sustainable future, opening paths for emerging voices and transforming each thread into a shared story.
