Ancestralica is a company dedicated to recovering and evaluating traditional dyeing and natural printing techniques through research and experimentation with native dyeing plants. With a conscious and sustainable approach, his artisan workshop produces clothing and utility items with printed organic cotton using the ECOPRINT technique. This utterly handmade process extracts and captures the natural color and shape of the leaves, flowers, and seeds through heat and pressure, generating unique and high-quality pieces.
At Ancestralica we are committed to sustainable development and fair trade. We collaborate with indigenous communities and local artisans, thus promoting the preservation of their ancestral techniques and knowledge. We ensure that each piece is made ethically and fairly and that our collaborators receive fair remuneration. In this way, we are not only contributing to the preservation of traditional techniques but also to the generation of opportunities and the development of local communities.
In addition, Ancestralica shares its knowledge and learning through face-to-face and experiential workshops, where participants experience each technical process and create their garments using it. This company considers it extremely important to share and disseminate the information obtained to contribute as an alternative solution to synthetic dyeing with a high environmental impact.
