Hera was born from the desire to create more authentic fashion, one that has a positive impact on the planet and in which aesthetics and consciousness coexist in a balanced way.
It seeks to create garments that tell a story through the materials, the silhouettes and the people that created them; garments made to exist in this era.
MATERIALS
We use natural fibers such as hemp, wool, linen, organic cotton and yute. Materials that when decomposed will be biodegradable.
VINTAGE TEXTILES
We create garments with vintage textiles that tell stories from the past created to live in this era. We source textiles from the 50's, 60's and 70's that are in perfect conditions.
UPCYCLED APPAREL
We transform existing garments to give them a new life.
WORK ETHIC
Ethical practices are at the core of everything we do. We pay fairly to all the people that helps us transform our 2D designs into reality.
NATURAL DYES
We naturally dye some of our garments with: beetroot, cochineal, red cabbage, turmeric, logwood, anatto seeds and avocado seeds.
We are always experimenting and exploring new dyes that are not toxic to the planet, for us the colors of nature are the most beautiful.
