Clothes made to be kept

Fourteen pieces. Natural fibres, undyed where we can manage it, cut and sewn at our table in Buenos Aires.

Two seasons a year, and nothing in between

Read the note

We cut what we can finish. A bolt of cloth arrives, it becomes forty coats or it becomes thirty, and when the run is gone we do not make it again. Repeating a garment is how a small workroom turns into a factory that is bad at being a factory. It is also why the collection is fourteen pieces and not ninety.

Autumn 26

Atelier

A table, two machines and a long drying rail

Atelier Norte is four people in a first-floor room in Villa Crespo. We pattern, cut, sew and press in the same space, which is slow and is the only way we know how to be sure of a seam.

Nothing is made in advance for a warehouse. A piece is cut when the cloth arrives and finished when it is finished, and the number we can make in a season is the number that fits on the rail.

Wrap Coat

$ 690

Shop the coat

Cut from a wool and cashmere melton woven in Trelew, unlined through the body so it moves, and closed with a belt rather than a button so it fits the person and not the size chart. Made in one run of thirty.

Folded linen cloths, showing the raw fringed edge used on the coat's inner facings
