The cause is to create pieces that make you feel something, real— to feel pretty, to connect with that inner romance, to enhance your capacity to love yourself with a sensual flair, to ignite your inner goddess.The collections fuse ethereal styling with a modern bohemian-tinged aesthetic. 

Each collection allures with cascading tiers of hand-dyed airy fabric creating a rhythmic swing with each step, each piece artfully merges billowy silhouettes and pieces that accentuate the curves of a women’s body, made with fabrics as smooth as cashmere these pieces are noted for deskside day dreamers and global gypsies alike.

Since 2014, Capittana is fully engaged in empowering women of the local communities in Perú and is committed to transparency in the Life Cycle of the Product. From importing fabrics from sustainable factories to the production process which is led by single mothers, women in high risk situations and local artisans.

Capittana strongly contributes to a more sustainable and inclusive fashion landscape with a slow fashion proposal. A brand that seeks to increase confidence and security in every woman, creating opportunities for their growth by offering a stable income and a safe work environment.

Wearing a Capittana is not wearing a product, it's wearing a piece of art and the soul of all the women involved in the process.

Anna prides herself on making high-quality, sustainable, crochet and silk tie-dye collections. All her pieces are handmade and are produced overseas by generational artisan families which is why her designs are definitely not fast, disposable fashion, but something to be kept in a modern heirloom way, like works of art you collect over the years.

Anna finds inspiration in vintage fashion, nature and architecture found through her worldly travels and with a background in textile technology she pushes herself to recreate textures, silhouettes and patterns found within these amazing sources.

Amanda started her career in fashion public relations over a decade ago working in PR in New York with Kelly Cutrone from Peoples Revolution, then transitioned directly to the fahsion world working alongside Joe Mimran, best known for Club Monaco and JOE FRESH and Kimberly Newport from Pink Tartan.

She then opened AVANA Showroom, specializing in high-end resortwear and realized there was a gap in the mens swimwear market and BALAGAN was born for the guy who doesn’t fear prints and wants to stand out. A collection of mid-thigh swim trunks with electroplated 18K gold hardware. Inspired by the works of famous painter BASQUIAT and Slim Aarons Photography. 

“With an ode to subdued pop-art and paradise pastels, this line is enveloped by brilliant heat and salty air making anything possible”
