Drawing from the rich tapestry of Ortiz’s Colombian roots, the collection is drenched in the hues of the Amazon and textures of Andean landscapes. Designs such as Amazonas Mystique and Andean Tribute embroidery reflect the vibrant ecosystem of Ortiz’s homeland, while Tayrona Palm Mosaic and Tropical Safari portray the intricate dance of nature’s patterns. The collection spotlights a range of natural materials, including linen, sisal and raffia, and also celebrates Colombian basket-weaving techniques.
