Where timelessness meets craftsmanship, emerges Casa María. Rooted in Canada, our brand was founded upon a deep appreciation for our Andean culture and its rich textile history. By bringing the old and the new together, we craft our pieces by connecting to the past, celebrating the present and looking towards the future.
Our name holds a deep significance within our families and symbolizes the values that we both share. Casa María is more than just a name, it is a thread that ties together our commitment to care, quality, and heritage.
Inspired by the inconceivable depths of the Andean landscapes and the strength and warmth of our grandmothers, Casa María is a tribute to both their beauty and legacy; as well as a celebration of the values they have taught us of care, kindness, slowness, and resilience.
At the core of our mission lies a commitment to create with purpose. We commit to using materials that align with our values and are not detrimental to the environment. We believe in the talent of our people and want to create a gentler future together. Our commitment to each other and our planet lies within every piece we create.
We have built our brand with our values foremost, this means every decision we have made is purposeful:
By producing locally in our studio in East Vancouver, we ensure that every part of the process is aligned with our vision and values.
We have chosen to craft each piece on a made-to-order basis, so that we can control the amount of product we put out into the world.
We have chosen to upcycle parts of our collections, because we believe in reusing first.
We have chosen our suppliers with the utmost care and have forged strong relationships with them.
As we continue to innovate and create, our vision remains committed to shaping the future of our industry. We seek to expand our offerings by collaborating with artisans and communities, to create even more meaningful connections.
We envision a world where fashion is an expression of identity and a force for positive change.
