Feel Good Fashion
Florezca believes in and stands up for equality among all human beings. We support female-owned businesses, advocating for their right to earn a fair and safe living.
Our passion is "slow fashion" that focuses on social and environmental awareness and responsibility with the pleasure of wearing beautiful, well-made clothing that become an essential everyday item you can't live without.
The mission is to directly support economic sustainability and thriving communities. Moreover, our weavers receive 75-85% of the profits of each item, and earn more than double the Chilean national minimum wage.
