At the heart of ACIEN lies a profound dedication to preserving traditional techniques, notably a weaving art passed down by the founder’s grandmother three years prior to her passing. This technique utilises dry branches collected from the Spanish mountains, traditionally used to craft baskets to carry eggs and vegetables in the farm of her parents. These materials encapsulate Silvia's heritage, and at ACIEN, she fervently strives to safeguard them for future generations.
ACIEN transcends the realm of fashion, embodying a social purpose. Committed to a regenerative ethos and the conservation of Earth's resources, the brand champions biodiversity preservation through regenerative fashion practices. All garments and hats are crafted from certified organic yarns, dyed by hand with a blend of natural dyes sourced from plants and bacteria and GOTS dyes. A pivotal facet of ACIEN involves collaborations with scientists and bio designers, employing innovative techniques to contribute to water conservation. This dedication is underscored by a deliberate choice of materials that demand minimal water usage, a testament to ACIEN's core values.
