Today, April 7th, marks the exclusive opening of Universo MOLA Fashion Week at <\/span>EAN University<\/b> in Bogot\u00e1, Colombia. As the only sustainable fashion week in Latin America it offers a unique experience at <\/span>La Galer\u00eda<\/b>, a shopping exhibition. There, you can discover and purchase a wide range of sustainable pieces, from accessories to household elements.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On this tour, various fibers and fabrics can be found, with <\/span>natural fibers<\/b> like cotton and wool being the protagonists. Most brands featured on this list belong to the Southern Cone, such as Argentina and Uruguay. Both countries hold extensive expertise in textiles and wool, turning this event into the perfect opportunity to discover and treasure high-quality pieces.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Uruguayan brand <\/span>Artelanas<\/b>leads the pack. It is known for its crocheted pieces made with cotton and\/or wool, such as pashminas, sweaters, and bags. Among the pieces to look out for is an<\/span> open ruana with intricate weave patterns<\/b>, a true testament to the brand\u2019s unique blend of Latin and <\/span>boho style.<\/b>.

Another Uruguayan brand that works with weaving is<\/span> FK Textil<\/b>, which uses different tools and techniques: the handloom with cotton and merino wool (the latter being one of the most valued materials for its versatility and high quality). Some of the garments produced by this brand are ruanas, scarves, and T-shirts, which are characterized by their particular weave pattern, which gives a unique texture to the pieces. One of the brand\u2019s most functional pieces is the <\/span>CRUZ T-shirt<\/b>, as it can be adapted to different types of weather: warm weather as the only layer, as in the photograph, or worn with more layers in colder weather.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sustainable solutions: <\/span>Palo Azul<\/b>is an Argentinian brand that offers practical, stylish, and sustainable solutions. The brand elaborates footwear and leather goods with sustainable fabrics, natural dyes, and botanical prints. The brand makes sandals, bags, boots, and sneakers; the latter are the ideal alternative to everyday shoes, as they are made with cotton and have recycled rubber soles.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
