The way we work

We are committed to a sustainable way of working that is respectful of the environment and provides everyone in our value chain with the best possible benefits, from our suppliers and collaborators to our distributors and final users.

We provide our customers with unparalleled quality, our distributors obtain the highest margins from our line. We provide artisans with fair and regular pay for their craft, have a great relationship with all our suppliers, and our employees have the best working conditions within the industry.

The ARMANDO TAKEDA way of working is a COLLABORATION, the artisans teach us about their ancient technique, meanings, materials, usage of color, designs. And with their permission, we innovate their artifacts and merge them with the highest quality fabrics around the world in our atelier in Mexico City, to create desirable and sellable high fashion pieces combined with culture and innovation.

We first study about different cultures and their ancestral techniques, this is part of our inspiration, we look for communities in need that use techniques that we can work with, we choose one and spend time living in their village to share with them our philosophy and learn their culture.
