The history<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Since the 14th century, Basque women wore curious headdresses<\/strong> to express their origin, status and style, some of which were very suggestive. Young, unmarried women wore their heads uncovered and their hair shaved off, thought, to be hygienic.<\/p>\n

There are hardly any images of these headdresses, until in the 16th century,<\/strong> with the discovery of America and the first circumnavigation of the world, when human curiosity was aroused by the discovery of other cultures. This led to the appearance of costume codices, in which travellers illustrated what people were like in other places. Foreigners who travelled to the Basque Country were impressed and portrayed in the codexes of the time the hundreds of headdresses they saw.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of the 17th century, the prohibition of the Church<\/strong> for considering them obscene and the irruption of other fashions, made them disappear<\/strong> and, hundreds of years later, we hardly know what was the most characteristic Basque garment for more than 3 centuries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In order to make this story known, we wanted to recover an engraving from 1570 that is in the National Library in Paris.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”8688″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”8398″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Working process<\/strong><\/h6>\n

To develop this collection, we have made a collection of more than 200 illustrations, reproductions and paintings of the period<\/strong> and, through a crowdfunding campaign<\/strong>, we have selected 5 of these images with the votes of the co-founders, so that, once again, you can wear this story and bring it back to life.<\/p>\n

With the winners illustrations of Basque women from the 16th century<\/strong>, we have created the designs of the collection to turn them into new icons of our time, adding atext indicating what was mentioned<\/strong> in the original illustration.<\/p>\n

Finally, these illustrations have been screen-printed with great care and attention to detail with ecological inks on T-shirts and sheets of paper in the Gko Art Studio screen-printing workshop in Tolosa (Gipuzkoa)<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Sustainability, traceability and fabric.<\/strong><\/h6>\n
