Selva Negra is the first collection made by Stefanith.
Selva Negra aims to be a bridge between women. On one side those of the
matriarchal Kuna and Emberá communities from Colombia. On the other,
strong and independent women living in cities like New York, Barcelona, and
Amsterdam. While offering the craftswomen economic opportunities and an
outlet for their creations, the collection expands the cultural horizon of the
modern urban female.
The collection for both day and night uses patterns and colors that represent
the heritage of these Colombian matriarchs. In a fair trade collaboration, Selva
Negra combines artisan creativity with modern techniques and sophisticated
materials such as tulle.
The result is a series of pieces with strong primary colors against a largely dark
black background. Due to its transparency, lightness, and layers, Selva Negra
breaths style, independence, and feminine strength.
