Chicano & Peruvian Elegance
I would like to shout out the resilience of the Chicano community. It is a complicated community of people who are judged, misunderstood, and wrongly profiled. I have come to terms that I am part of this community of people who embraced me, taught me a lot, and support me as a person. I think that is beautiful.
A skilled stylist doesn't just possess a great eye for fashion; it's about how each piece comes together to create a full look.
Influence by her father, who was an expert tailor for over 50 years, led to the birth of Thrifts, a genderless online store that practices green fashion and has gained popularity as far as Tokyo, Japan.
Features & Highlights
We believe in the power of fashion to tell stories and express identity. Each look in our portfolio is designed to inspire and empower, reflecting the diverse and rich tapestry of Chicano and INDIGENOUS cultures.
