Responsibility
SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS
95% of our fabrics are either upcycled, recycled, organic, or bio-degradable. Sourcing is done slowly and thoughtfully throughout Latin America and Europe.
Our polyamides or lycras, sourced from a textile business of withstanding tradition in Italy, are made out of regenerated nylon yarns, upcycled from fish-nets and other waste. Work with this supplier contributes to “Healthy Seas”, an initiative focused on collecting waste left in the ocean.
Our cotton fabrics, used in most of our leisure and casualwear pieces like T-shirts and Sweatshirts, are made entirely from fair-trade certified and organic cotton bulbs that have been continuously harvested by Brazilian and Turkish farmers under biodynamic agriculture for the past 25 years. Hypoallergenic and great for sensitive skin, they’re also mainly free of chemicals and toxic dyes.
Other fabrics we use, sourced in Brazil, are biodegradable and entirely de-compose up to three years after their disposal, hence contributing to CO2 control and overall human health.
ETHICAL & CONSCIOUS PRODUCTION
Our pieces are made at home by expert seamstresses and 80% of our retail sales are made to order. This not only guarantees a more circular approach to production and less waste, but it also allows us to craft pieces exclusively and specifically for each customer, allowing for additional customization.
SOCIAL EFFORTS
Palomiino donates 3% of every retail purchase to “Fundacion Ayuda por Colombia“, a local fundraiser focused on supporting children and teenagers living under extreme poverty or vulnerability.

INCLUSIVITY
Our design process is considering of all silhouettes and genders. This is why our styles range from xs-xl or are one size and why we rarely work on constructions of traditionally feminine or masculine silhouettes. We also offer customization and special sizing for made-to-order purchases.
If you need custom sizing for your order, feel free to send your request here within 24 hours of your pre-order purchase and we’ll be happy to help!
