Arielthi is thrilled to revisit the inspiring story of Escvdo, a brand synonymous with contemporary ethical luxury. We recently had the privilege of interviewing founder Chiara Macchiavello at Milan Fashion Week, and her unwavering dedication to sustainability continues to impress.
A Legacy Rooted in Heritage:
Macchiavello’s Peruvian heritage fuels Escvdo’s unique identity. After refining her design skills in London, she returned to Lima with a vision to bridge the gap between ancient traditions and modern aesthetics. Escvdo’s collections are a testament to this philosophy, featuring handwoven dresses and alpaca-wool sweaters that celebrate ancestral weaving techniques.

Sustainability as a Guiding Principle:
For Escvdo, sustainability isn’t just a trend; it’s the very core of their operation. The brand sources and manufactures everything locally in Peru, working hand-in-hand with skilled artisans to empower communities and preserve time-honored practices. Their commitment extends to using eco-friendly materials like Pima cotton and suri alpaca, ensuring a minimal environmental footprint.
