material - 100% Cotton

Our cotton comes from the south of Spain, mainly from Sevilla and its surroundings. The cotton harvest in Spain is very small but significant and well-known internationally for its exceptional quality. We choose local cotton because it must adhere to strong EU regulations making it better for the environment and better for society.

the factory

Once harvested the cotton travels north to our factory in Barcelona. We work with a family run factory with a reputation for quality and integrity and with a deep knowledge of and interest in the latest knitwear technology and design. Each babaà piece is knitted using the very best Japanese knitting machines and then assembled by hand by a team of amazing women with a lifetime of experience.

assembly

Assembling and finishing knitwear pieces is a long process. Sewing seams, mounting neck lines, adding the buttons and labels… after the garment is put together there is a lot of quality control. First checking that there are no mistakes in the cloth and that all the knitting is even and prefect in the garment. If not, it is time for sewing needles, crochet hooks and very skilled hands.

eco colours

We are committed to finding the most eco-friendly ways to dye our garments. Our technique uses 60% less water than the industry standard, and involves no bleaching and no toxic waste. All dyes are GOTS certified and there is nothing discarded that contaminates our planet. Each item is garment dyed - which means it is dyed after construction – in La Coruña in Northern Spain, in a factory that has developed the most sustainable large-scale production available.

No dyes are used in our natural collections, instead the colors are achieved through the natural blending of fibres

dispatch & packaging

Our skilled dispatch team check over every item before it is shipped from Barcelona. They pack each item in our paper bags, made in Madrid and hand printed by Marta’s art school teacher, Jesus, in the Lavapiés neighbourhood. We truly treasure the opportunity to work locally and build relationships with our community year after year.
