09. Mome Arrocha: Tradition and Craftsmanship

Customs, Culture and Craftsmanship

Ever since she was a child, Mome Arrocha has felt deeply rooted in the land,

connected to traditions and to everything from the past.

Together with her passion for sewing, this connection forms her creations.

Her passion for sewing came from her aunt, who used to make clothes for her daughters and relatives. Mome remembers seeing her aunt always sewing and when she spent time with her, she would give her little pieces of fabric to make clothes for her dolls. That’s how it came to pass that from a very young age she has dedicated herself to sewing.
