Flora Workshop A.C.

Flora works as a mobile lab developed in cooperation with Indigenous communities. Every two months, the Flora team visit different Indigenous communities to research their systems of clothing production. The results of this research are then catalogued to create an archive consisting of formal solutions that can be added to the language of design, Haute Couture and Prêt-a-Portèr. Flora runs workshops with these communities to increase the artisans' creativity using methods that they are already familiar with. This facilitates the creation of new designs and contributes to establishing contacts with different cooperatives, reinforcing networks that operates following the principles of fair trade and ecological materials.  The Flora team supply different shops, increasing their catalogue and providing continuous employment to cooperatives. Thanks to the Flora Workshop artisans can make a living in their areas and don't have to migrate to the city.
