What is coloti?

The word coloti comes from colotl which means Scorpion and comes from the uto-aztecan language of the Nahuas people. When creating this brand I wanted to dig deep and not only represent my roots but also my experiences of the time I spent in mexico.

Every fragment & detail of this collection is done with a purpose to give life to the treasured memories of exploring the ruins of Tepoztlan as a child, utilizing natural golden hour lighting was incredibly important to me because it reminds me of the sun-casted shadows over the pebbled streets of Tepoztlan.

 
 

Carnaval in Morelos was another vital source of inspiration for this collection. The music, costumes and ceremonial jewelry worn by all who participate is just breathtaking.

Mexico will always be my greatest muse.
