Ethnic Chic Style

Ethnic fashion online

Ethnic clothing recalls the traditional costumes of mainly non-European peoples, such as South America, Asia and Africa. The typical clothing of these beautiful countries has a strong personality, representing the country itself, its origins and its culture. Made of natural fabrics, very often in bright colors, this clothing is embellished with geometric designs and handmade embroidery.

Ethnic style, an ever-current fashion

Ethnic clothing of excellent quality, made with natural materials

These traditional ethnic dresses, due to their uniqueness, have inspired and influenced the world of fashion, giving life to ethnic-style clothing that can be worn on all occasions. A perfect vacation clothing style but also suitable for everyday life in the city.
Since their first trip to South America in 1980, the founders of the Italian clothing company LaMamita were fascinated not only by the splendid landscape, by the indigenous culture and population, by the splendid ethnic style of clothes of those peoples and by their ability to create ethnic sweaters, skirts, dresses, ponchos and an infinity of such special and unique accessories. From that trip, the idea was born in them of creating ethnic clothing to be offered to the European population. Since then they have traveled and collaborated with local artisans to create unique pieces of excellent quality and craftsmanship and made with natural materials.

Origins of ethnic fashion by "LAMAMITA"

Traveling between Peru, Guatemala, Mexico, Colombia and many other countries of South America among suggestive landscapes and wonderful cultures, we discovered the beauty of typical natural materials such as the precious alpaca wool of Peru and the natural cotton of Guatemala with its bright colors. . These excellent materials have become and still are the basis of our clothing collections. Over the years, the lure of travel meant that we didn't stop only in South America and pushed us to Asia. In particular in Indonesia, India and Nepal where, in addition to having known and appreciated different traditions and cultures, we have found typical natural materials that have inspired us once again thanks to their innumerable qualities: the softness of precious cashmere, the lightness of natural cotton and the versatility of hemp fabric. We have thus enriched our collections of ethnic clothing, remaining faithful to the idea of fair trade and respect for nature, two fundamental principles of our company.
