LUPE SET - ARMINDA COLLECTION 25
BLOUSE + PANT
Like a whisper from the past that gently touches the present, the Arminda Collection is born—a delicate yet powerful tribute to the women who wove my story. Inspired by my grandmother Arminda, this collection is an ode to feminine power, to the unbreakable strength and the enduring sweetness.
Each piece is embroidered with retama flowers, butterflies, hummingbirds, the Southern Cross, and the small mushrooms that grew in my grandmother's yard, evoking those childhood days spent with brave, loving women—guardians of natural secrets and remedies for every ailment. Arminda, with hands that embroidered as if weaving the wind, with her delicious cooking, her gentle smile, and her tireless heart, is the soul of this collection.
In the cream and blue colors she loved so much, shines the legacy of a woman who was both a guiding light and a shelter, who never yielded to life's storms but always found a way to bloom. This collection is the memory of a lineage, the echo of my grandmother’s voice.

Care recommendations:
How do I care for my linen garment?
To care for your linen garments, hand wash or machine wash them with cold water and a mild detergent, using the delicate cycle. Avoid the dryer, as heat can shrink the fabric; it's better to air dry by hanging it on a hanger or laying it flat. Iron while it's slightly damp, using a cloth over the garment and a medium heat setting to prevent shine or marks.
Important for PRE ORDERS: Each of the skirts is a special piece, it may be from the same collection but the embroidery is not necessarily 100% identical.
