KNITTING MEMORIES | whAT WE STAND FOR

IN THIS SERIES, FOUNDER AND DESIGNER ANA DIARTE SHARES PERSONAL REFLECTIONS THAT SHAPE THE WORLD OF DIARTE, FROM ITS ORIGINS TO THE VALUES THAT CONTINUE TO DEFINE IT TODAY:

FIFTEEN YEARS AGO, SOURCING SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS WAS NOT EASY.

FABRIC AGENTS OFTEN MADE FUN OF US, CALLING IT SOME KIND OF MARKETING NONSENSE.

TODAY, SUSTAINABLE OPTIONS ARE WIDELY AVAILABLE, THOUGH THE FASHION INDUSTRY STILL HAS A LONG WAY TO GO.

FROM THE BEGINNING, DIARTE HAS BEEN BUILT ON CLEAR PILLARS: QUALITY, NATURAL FIBERS, AND LOCAL PRODUCTION.

TODAY, WE ARE STILL 100% MADE IN SPAIN, WITH AROUND 80% OF OUR PRODUCTION POWERED BY SOLAR ENERGY.

FOR US, SUSTAINABILITY ISN’T A TREND. IT’S COHERENCE.

THE BRAND REFLECTS THE WAY WE LIVE: SUPPORTING LOCAL PRODUCERS, MOVING THROUGH THE CITY BY BIKE OR PUBLIC TRANSPORT, AND MAKING CONSCIOUS CHOICES WHENEVER POSSIBLE.

EVERY SMALL GESTURE ADDS UP, AND OVER TIME, IT’S CLEAR THAT THOSE LITTLE CHANGES START TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN SOCIETY.
