At Vera Colectivo, each piece is born from collaboration with Mexican artisans, preserving traditional techniques with care and intention. Every stitch carries time, meaning, and the spirit of shared creation.

Traditional backstrap loom weaving
Backstrap weaving is an ancestral technique practiced primarily by Indigenous women.The loom is fastened around the waist, naturally limiting the width of the textile. Using the tension of their own body, weavers bring each thread to life — a physical, intimate process deeply rooted in tradition.

Foot loom
A traditional technique that forms the soul of some of our pieces. Operated entirely by hand, the weaver uses their feet to work the pedals, lifting specific threads while their hands guide the shuttle back and forth. A rhythmic process that weaves together skill, memory, and movement.

CROCHET KNITTING
Crochet is a manual textile technique that uses a hooked needle to create fabric from a single strand of thread. Through a series of interlocking stitches, the thread is shaped into firm, structured, and detailed pieces — all guided by the artisan’s hands.

Natural dyes
Some of our garments are dyed using natural pigments, a way to honor both the environment and nature’s own rhythms. We work with solid, 100% natural dyes such as indigo, cochineal, walnut husk, and palo de águila bark. Each batch is dyed slowly and in small quantities, with care, patience, and deep respect for what the earth provides.
