Diosas is a clothing collection created by Colombian brand Katharsis in collaboration with Ellayeraldina, inspired by an Amazonian myth that tells the origin of two ancestral plants: huito and achiote. The fruits of these plants are essential to the communities of the region, not only for their medicinal and cosmetic uses, but also for their symbolic depth.
This myth tells the story of two divine women, the goddesses Huito and Achiote, considered the body and soul of the jungle. Strong and courageous women who, in search of their identity, embarked on a journey of transformation that gave rise to these sacred plants and this clothing collection, created to honor their roots, rescue ancestral memory, and dress today's modern goddesses with splendor: strong, courageous, and transformative women.
The collection was made with natural fibers such as linen and cotton, and dyed by hand with vegetable pigments, including achote, one of the fruits featured in the narrative. Each garment was designed as a tribute to these mythological figures, their transformative power, and the sacred relationship between women and nature.
