Katia Sanchez – Fashion Designer

I choose yarns made of natural materials. Because it is much more beautiful and pleasant than synthetic, because it is renewable resources, because it “breathes” and the associated properties are more interesting. I choose the finest and softest Mohair yarn.
I work with farms that respect animals (see the “mohair” tab). I produce close and on a small scale. This all has a cost. By selling directly to my customers through my e-shop, I avoid the multiplication of margins and I practice a minimum coefficient.
Manufacture in small factories close and conscientious while respecting their rhythm and at a fair price for all. Today we are continuing this exchange and imagining hand knitted models to offer you easy patterns and allow you to knit “good mood” sweaters!
