“Camila pays tribute to Japanese women through the power of colour”.

For Camila Puya de Arcos, successor to Margaret de Arcos who founded the workshop in 1996, the link between natural silk, the artisan uses and ways of applying color to materials, and pattern design was always very present. Silk fashion and craftsmanship, the study of textiles and grammage, as well as the fixation of colors, was the subject of her master’s degree.
