The north is the way

Founded by Inés Viera, Norte is inspired by memories and nostalgia of when time was slow and meaningful, starting with seeing her grandmother's beautiful handmade clothing in Spain, each piece of her closet imbued with an intrinsic purpose.

Norte is a clothing collection created to reorient women back to a true Norte - in an era where saturated consumerism and expendable fashion have taken us far off course, we create clothing with a sense of lineage and longevity, heading towards a better future of slow fashion.

Norte's collections infuse this practicality with a lingering nostalgia for the sensory details of Galicia's coastal villages: women playing the piano in silk dresses, mothers doing laundry in white linen blouses, friends picking figs to eat in cotton skirts. The silver of fishermen cleaning scales in the sun, the yellow of the little flowers in the mountains, the natural tones of the cliff edges and the spectrum of the blues of the sea.

Our process is based on sustainability, and each Norte collection is created from natural fabrics that will last as long as the raw materials they come from: linen, organic cotton, cupro, hemp, silk and lyocell. After working in fast fashion and witnessing firsthand the inevitable waste generated each season, Ines dreamed of designing garments that women could return to each year and still find elegant and refined. Small runs of new designs ensure that each item can be made locally, that each piece is thoughtfully crafted and that resources are not wasted.

We believe that clothing exists to embellish the normal rhythms of life: that utilitarian can be beautiful, that sentimentality can be lasting, and that beloved pieces should last for decades to come.
