Our Identity
María
Bouvier
María Bouvier is an Uruguayan label born out of the passion for color, for the environment and for fashion. Learning about natural dyes was the beginning and it showed us the way to do things differently, according to our values.
We believe in doing things the right way, so we work thoughtfully to develop long-lasting pieces by caring for every detail along the whole production process. These are the clothes we dream to wear as consumers, not only because they are fun and express our singularities, but also because they go hand in hand with our interests and beliefs.
We hope you love them as much as we do!
So, we decided to work only with certified organic cotton that is produced in fair ways, caring for our planet and also for the people working on the fields. We receive those textiles undyed and María Alejandra Bouvier, the designer and creator of the brand, colors them using natural materials such as onion skin, hibiscus flowers, roses, avocado stones, acacia flowers, turmeric, different wood barks and so much more. Then, we work jointly with small sewing studios to produce our pieces locally.
We like to think natural dyes give a soul to every product we create. The color variations that appear on the fabric as a sign of the handcrafted technique make each garment unique, and that is something we love!
