HISTORY
This story begins in the year 2020. At that time, I was living in the beautiful Riviera Maya, in a modest cabin surrounded by trees, located in a small town in the municipality of Tulum. This place, the flora and my passion for design and fabrics inspired me to give life to this brand. I have always maintained a close bond with nature, despite growing up in a city. When I was a child, with my family, we used to go hiking in the mountains, spend the day on the banks of a river or enjoy the beach. Thus began my love and respect for the environment.
Over time, my desire to explore the world grew, and when I finally had the opportunity to travel, the idea arose to embark on a journey across America. I hoped to discover breathtaking natural sites, and I did. However, I also realized that, despite all the wonders we are capable of achieving as human beings, we have also left a negative mark on many of these beautiful places. I came across landscapes polluted by human footprint and waters that were no longer as pure as they used to be.
Talking to people from different countries, explaining to me how the circumstances of the environment in which they lived had changed, I understood that we had lost the purity of our landscapes and that, sooner or later, we would face the consequences as humanity. With fewer natural resources and many of them already polluted, it was clear that we needed to take action.
It was then, from my cabin in the jungle of Maya, that the idea of creating this brand, Lolankil, which means to bloom in the Mayan language, was born. This brand takes this meaning in the sense of reconnecting with our environment and shining again as humanity, like a flower blooming. And it also reminds us of beauty, another essential element when it comes to fashion, since fashion accompanies us in our lives and protects us like our second skin. Moreover, each of us can express beauty in our own way, showing our unique style.
However, it is important to keep in mind that the fashion industry, despite its ability to enhance our beauty, is also one of the biggest sources of pollution. That is why our brand was born with the firm intention of creating in a conscious way. We use environmentally friendly materials and strive to reduce our carbon footprint, avoiding emitting CO2 into the atmosphere. We choose domestic manufacturing, which not only promotes local employment, but also helps to reduce pollution resulting from transportation.
Several years have passed since our humble beginnings, and our brand has grown slowly but steadily. Every step we take is taken with great consideration, without deviating from our code of ethics. We are committed to being environmentally responsible, but also to designing each garment with love and style.
In this year 2023, we are excited to finally introduce our products to the world. Although we are aware that we have a lot to learn and a long way to go, we hope you enjoy our work and that we can continue to write our story together.
