We are NUDO 6/6, a collective of over 750 Indigenous women from Mexico. Our voices are interwoven into every thread we create. Through the preservation of ancestral textile techniques and their fusion with contemporary design, we generate lasting economic impact, promote sustainable development, and strengthen cultural identity within our communities.
The heart of NUDO 6/6 beats with our strength as Indigenous artisan women from Mexico, through the brands we lead, unleashing our creativity and design expertise to bring you collections rich in innovation and cultural heritage. Each creation is an act of autonomy, a declaration of who we are and a vision of where we are heading. Today, our voices resonate beyond our communities, reaching global stages like Vancouver Fashion Week, where we showcase that fashion can be an act of memory, dignity, and sustainability.
