BEHIND OUR CREATIONS
OUR MISSION
LA LOBA was born from a simple belief: what we wear should feel as beautiful in its intention as it does on our bodies.
Founded by Carla and Sofia, our mission is to create timeless pieces that honour women, honour the Earth and honour the resources our planet offers. Every design begins with intention - never excess. We believe in creating mindfully, choosing quality over quantity and designing pieces that become part of your everyday rituals rather than passing trends.
Whether it's a piece of jewelry, a garment or an accessory, each creation is made to adorn, empower and accompany you through every season of life.
OUR GARNS/MATERIALS
The foundation of every piece begins with conscious choices.
We carefully select recycled, recyclable and non-toxic materials wherever possible, always seeking the most responsible options without compromising quality, comfort or longevity. Many of our fabrics are coloured using natural dyes that are gentler on both the environment and the people who create them.
Each fibre is chosen with purpose.
100% Organic Cotton
Organic Cotton is a bit more prone to wrinkling than some other products.
These pieces do not have their own elasticity and they have not been mixed with synthetic fibers.
After the first wash, the garment may shrink by 3-5%. This is a completely natural process.
Please be aware of this.
Merino Wool
Merino wool is a natural fiber obtained from the fine wool of Merino sheep and is 100% biodegradable.
It regulates body temperature by warming in the cold and cooling in the heat.
Merino wool is exceptionally breathable, moisture-wicking and absorbs up to 30% of its weight without feeling wet.
Its fibers are soft, elastic and perfect for sensitive skin.
Cupro
Cupro is a slightly shimmering, flowing and silk-like fabric made from plant-based materials. In its properties, it strongly resembles viscose. It is a regenerated cellulose fiber, produced from cotton linter - a byproduct of the cotton industry. The production process is environmentally conscious as it reuses this waste material instead of discarding it.
Bamboo
Bamboo is a sustainable textile raw material that grows quickly, requires little water and does not need pesticides.
It improves soil quality, prevents erosion, stores more CO₂ than trees and produces more oxygen - making it an excellent alternative to cotton.
Lyocell
Lyocell, also known as Tencel, is a cellulose fibre made from sustainably sourced wood and is fully biodegradable.
It has a smooth surface, feels cool like linen, provides warmth similar to sheep’s wool and is more absorbent than cotton.
In addition, Lyocell is highly tear-resistant and durable even when wet.
Jewelry
All our jewelry is crafted from certified recycled 925 Sterling Silver, eliminating the need for newly mined materials and supporting the vision of a truly circular, sustainable future.
Our gold-plated designs are finished with a thick, durable layer of 18k gold, ensuring long-lasting quality and a radiant shine that endures for years to come.
We proudly produce in partnership with a Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) certified factory, ensuring that every step — from sourcing to craftsmanship — meets the highest standards of ethics, transparency, and environmental care.
SLOW, ETHICAL FASHION
We believe that beautiful things deserve time.
Instead of chasing fast-changing trends, we design timeless collections intended to be worn for years. We produce in small quantities to avoid overproduction and unnecessary waste, creating only what is needed.
Our clothing is crafted in Portugal, while selected accessories are produced by carefully chosen family-owned partners in India who share our values of craftsmanship, transparency and respect.
We work only with manufacturers who provide fair wages, safe working conditions and long-term partnerships built on trust. By producing slowly and thoughtfully, we can focus on quality, durability and the people behind every piece.
Because true luxury is knowing who made what you wear.
HONOURING THE EARTH
Everything we create begins with gratitude for the resources our planet provides.
We believe these resources should never be taken for granted. Every conscious decision - from recycled materials and responsible production to thoughtful packaging - is our way of reducing our impact and creating with greater care.
But for us, responsibility goes beyond making products.
As LA LOBA continues to grow, we are committed to giving back by supporting NGOs and initiatives that protect our planet, wildlife and communities. We believe businesses have the opportunity to create positive change, and we want every collection to contribute to something greater than itself.
Honouring the Earth isn't a campaign. It's the foundation of everything we create.
