Who we are
Dressing in Nature - Nature to Dress in
First of all, dressing in nature is a choice, a sustainable, ecological and quality choice.
Choosing Agave - Dressing in Nature is the first step towards a choice of personal, physical and psychological care, towards an environmental choice, and of long-term savings.
In our shop you will find various items, all packaged and prepared with care and attention to detail. You will find a
limited but quality production, which aims at full customer satisfaction and
abandon a consumerist idea, imported by the fashion for disposable clothing, which has increased in recent years.
WHO I AM
Meeting with the designer
Vincenzo Ricca, founder and director of the Agave company - Vestire di Natura, tells us how this project was born: "I started selling almost by chanceclothingI wore some shirts in natural fabrics and I fell in love with them.comfort that certain fibers give to the body.
I was particularly struck by the fibre of thehemp,fabric that seems to hug you as you wear it.
I studied in the past as a pattern maker working in fast fashion companies and in 2004 I decided to create an exclusively natural sector,handicraft productsDesigned by me and followed step by step, from the thread to the final finishing of the garment. The items you find in my shop are refined, handcrafted,eco-sustainable,with simple, soft and pleasant lines. One could almost sayunique piecesIn fact, my production is not large, I prefer to work on a few pieces, but beautiful, studied and refined, focusing on the quality of the product!
I started with a few shirts, then trousers, dresses, and a few accessories. Over the years, I've gradually perfected my choice of fabrics and styles.
Mine is not just onechoiceworking, butethicsand everyday life. In my work, I try to convey to the public the beauty of these materials, their potential, and their difference from common stretch garments (made of synthetic fibers)."
OUR PRODUCTION
Refined and quality garments
The designer's idea is to cover all types of clothing that can be made with natural fibers. The fabrics used are made of organic cotton, linen, sheep's wool, alpaca wool, camel wool, and hemp.In our atelier, you will find simple items such as t-shirts, tank tops and t-shirts on classic models, but also refined garments, dresses, elegant trousers, jeans in hemp and special jerseys.
We have also created a line of accessories that ranges from different models of socks in wool, organic cotton, and hemp, to hats, scarves, and gloves.
Our ethic is to reach as many people as possible, and for this reason we also offer you a line of accessories for children and newborns, always made from entirely natural fibers, to ensure comfort and breathability from the first days of life. We also produce upon request tailored garments for people with special physical characteristics and needs.
Comfort and resistance
We believe that the natural fibers are somehow "alive," and breathe with the body of the wearer. Our garments are designed to last over time, to live with us while maintaining comfort and resistance, and are consequently cheap for our wallets. Therefore, it's better to have a refined, quality garment that lasts for years and accompanies us throughout our days, providing freshness and breathability, rather than a generic item to throw away after a season.
The production of Agave atelier it's a small one artisanal production. Only a few items, each size. We change patterns, colors, and styles every year, so you'll have a hard time finding what you bought.
It's not about unique pieces, but almost!
Artisanal production and Made in Italy
Choosing Nature to Dress means contributing to a new
rebalancing between technology and environment, to promote an increasingly natural industry, means seeking that physical well-being, which then also becomes psychological, that many synthetic garments or dyes with dyes full of heavy metals steal from us by causing discomfort such as allergies, itching, and a lack of perspiration from our bodies.
All our production is completely
MADE IN ITALY.
