Welcome to our Chimuk workshop! Check out some behind the scenes footage from March 2021 of our artisans working on their techniques for our Chan Chan collection with program director & collection designer, Laura Araujo.

The following designs are all carved into the adobe brick of the city of Chan Chan - the oldest largest adobe citadel in the world! If you pay attention in the first 5 seconds of the video, you will see the sign for Chan Chan archaeological site.

1. Rhombus - represents the fishing nets used by the fishermen

2. Spiral staircase - represents the waves along the coast, popular for surfing

3. Pelican - represents the marine life by the coast

4. Fish corridor - represents the strong & abundant currents along the coast

We relaunch Chimuk with a new, bold approach to sustainability, focusing on ethical fashion, dignified wages, and cultural preservation.
