Description

Our BACATÁ vest is a piece that intertwines history, tradition, and a contemporary touch. Inspired by the layers of Indian ethnic clothing, this vest pays a profound tribute to the Kamëntšá community, renowned for the symbolic and chromatic richness of its fabrics. Every detail has been carefully thought out to convey a message that goes beyond fashion, turning this garment into a true cultural legacy.

The contrasting colors in its design are no coincidence: they reflect an ancestral language, where each hue and symbol has its own meaning. The Kamëntšá weaving patterns, reinterpreted by 6 Herencias, result in a vest that combines artisanal value with a contemporary aesthetic. Thus, the Kamëntšá woven vest is not just a garment, but also a protective layer, steeped in identity and collective memory.

It is made with Cheviot wool, ensuring comfort, warmth, and durability. The cut, designed to be timeless, allows it to be a versatile garment that complements different styles and occasions: from a formal event to a casual day. Furthermore, its lightweight design makes it ideal for any season.

In the Kamëntšá worldview, fabrics carry messages, blessings, and protection. Wearing this vest means carrying a handwoven story with you, a tradition that has been reinterpreted to connect with the present without losing its ancestral essence.
