INNOVATION BY TRADITION
Reshaping tradition into the essence of modernity.
Conchita Perez is an independent designer label redefining the essential form of fashion from an unconventional angle, one that is communicative, artistic and deeply human. The resulting garments use shape, fabric, precise cutting and balanced proportions to deliver a highly crafted silhouette for the 21st century.
At Conchita Perez, we strive to design a better future. By combining creativity, imagination, and innovation, we create alternative fashion solutions that bring integrity and longevity to our actions and the clothes we wear. Combining traditional techniques with innovative processes and designs in an experimental and revolutionary way, we are reshaping tradition into the essence of modernity.
Be local, go global.
We are a small and passionate, highly skilled crafts team that designs and handcrafts each piece. We are committed to preserving our beautiful planet, we are mindful of our footprint, and everything we create is made with love, authenticity, and integrity in our Hackney production studio in London.
Deeply conscious of the environmental impact of overproduction, we only produce on demand, make to order so every item is unique or part of a limited-edition. Clothing is expecting to be made within four weeks after the order is placed.
As part of our commitment to long-lasting and comfortable products, we work with local suppliers who deliver natural and high-quality materials and we hand screen printed some of the fabric in our studio in hackney, London.
The form and function of beauty.
Whether it’s a food, landscape, art or even our relationship with each other, beauty helps us form relationships with our environment. A person’s beauty is much more than just a superficial aesthetic. It is a fundamental part of the way a person understands and interacts with the world.
