Where Craftsmanship, Ethics and Identity Redefine Modern Luxury

Through its evolving collections, the boutique introduces a new generation of Latin American designers who are reshaping the global language of luxury. Their approach blends ethics with craft, and regional identity with international relevance.

From Colombia and Mexico to the Dominican Republic, a growing number of creators are building beauty with care. Their work is not reactive. It is rooted, visionary, and quietly transformative. Brands like Maygel Coronel, Baobab, and Lulo Nightwear stand at the center of this evolution.

How Designers Are Rewriting the Fashion Script

1. Starting with Ethics

For the designers at ANTIBES, sustainability is not a branding strategy. It is a design philosophy. Brands like Baobab lead the way with regenerative practices, clean supply chains, and low-impact materials. They prove that ethics and elegance are not opposites, but collaborators.

2. Innovating With Intention

From plant-based dyes to biodegradable packaging, these collections reflect thoughtful material innovation. Lulo Nightwear, for instance, creates flowing, sensual pieces made with sustainable fabrics that support both the skin and the planet.

3. Design That Reflects Cultural Identity

Every garment curated at ANTIBES carries a sense of origin. Local textures, climate, and light find their way into the silhouettes. Maygel Coronel’s swimwear celebrates body diversity and feminine energy through sculptural lines that feel deeply personal and proudly Latin.

4. Creating for Longevity

This is not fast fashion. These are garments made to be worn, reinterpreted, and treasured. Small-batch production and timeless design help reduce waste and elevate value. Pieces from Baobab and Lulo Nightwear are crafted to last far beyond the season.

5. Telling Stories Through Craft

Luxury today is measured in meaning. The designers featured at ANTIBES create pieces that carry stories of community, material origin, and creative intention. Each cut, color, and seam is part of a narrative that values truth over trend.

A Region Leading the Future of Conscious Fashion

While ANTIBES began in Punta Cana, its vision has expanded. The boutique now brings together designers from across Latin America, creating a curated universe of style with substance. The result is not only fashion. It is cultural contribution.

This is not a moment. It is a movement, where Latin American designers are leading a new understanding of luxury: one built on respect, relevance, and refinement.
