Paz Mesa had her first contact with textile crafts through her mother, who taught her how to spin the wool of her own flock of Xalda sheep; a task that she carried out together with her sisters. They later would give the wool already spun to a cousin who was a weaver, for her to make the garments. However, her work as a professional in the field began two years ago, after an eleven-year training period with different national and international artisans. She works mainly with wool, linen and silk: respectful, biodegradable fabrics, committed not only to the environment, but also to the well-being of animals and workers, as well as to the health of the customer. She tries to promote and disseminate more responsible forms of consumption, basing her brand on issues such as sustainability, ecology, territoriality and a circular, ethical and conscious economy.
