CALOMEL
IS A SMALL INDEPENDENT FRANCO-ARGENTINE BRAND BASED IN BUENOS-AIRES. OUR AIM IS TO CREATE TIMELESS, COMFORTABLE AND HIGH-QUALITY PIECES FOR THE NOW WOMEN. SINCE 2018, WE’VE LOCALLY DESIGNED AND PRODUCED IN SUPER-LIMITED QUANTITIES. IN THE SPIRIT OF SLOW FASHION, EACH PIECE IS MADE BY HAND IN A SMALL, FAMILY-OWNED FACTORY.
ESSENCIA
We take an artistic and minimalist approach to create and produce in a responsible manner. Our pieces are made to be as natural as possible and to be worn like a second skin by all women — as swimwear, intimates, or everyday loungewear. We don’t believe in seasonal collections. We let our inspiration guide new product releases.
LOCAL PRODUCTION
Todas las prendas estan confeccionadas localmente a menos de 10 km de nuestro estudio en el barrio de Chacarita. Nuestra colección de trajes de baño se fabrica en Villa Martelli y la línea de ropa interior en Parque Patricios. Nos aseguramos de que nuestro equipo de producción sea independiente y trabaje en su propio espacio de trabajo.
DOMESTIC SOURCES
We use products made in Argentina to support our domestic manufacturing. Our garment labels are made less than 300m from our studio in Chacarita in an old traditional factory. When our local markets cannot respond to our need for yarn or fabric, we supplement with materials from Brazil and France.
SLOW MADE #GOINGSLOW
We believe in local manufacturing from both an efficiency and an ethical point of view. We control our production from start to finish and never subcontract. We personally know all the people involved in our productions. This ensures our quality and sets our standard. This is our commitment to our customers. Our hands-on method has allowed us to quickly learn, correct and improve along the way.
BIO-PACKAGING #PLASTICFREE
Our commitment to sustainability extends to our packaging. We package online orders in 100% biodegradable/compostable corn-based garment bags. They are reusable and can be stored in the freezer for up to a year. We work hard to ensure every part of our sampling and production process is as environmentally-friendly and ethical as possible!
