MI GOLONDRINA X THE NAT NOTE

Cristina has long admired Natalie Steen of The Nat Note — not only for her true sense of style, but also for the thoughtful way she has grown her brand over the years. Rooted in her Miami Cuban heritage, Natalie’s vibrant spirit and effortless approach to styling bring a unique warmth and joy to everything she touches. That same energy is woven into each piece in this collection, blending playful elegance with timeless ease.

DETAILS

Designed in collaboration with Natalie Steen, this soft white cotton skirt features traditional Oaxacan floral embroidery, typically seen on our blouses and dresses, now beautifully reimagined on a skirt. It pairs perfectly with the White Flores blouse from the collection, yet is a versatile piece that can also be styled beautifully on its own. This wrap skirt can even be draped and worn as a dress when tied differently, offering endless styling possibilities.

FABRIC

Crafted from 100% cotton oxford, this skirt has a beautiful weight that allows it to flow effortlessly while holding its shape. The fabric’s subtle structure carries the intricate embroidery with ease, highlighting every detail in vibrant, dimensional stitches.

ARTISAN COMMUNITY

The Flores pieces come from the community of San Antonino Castillo Velasco. It is a community in Oaxaca that is known for its traditional floral hand embroidery, which dates back over 200 years. 

These blouses and dresses can take over one month to make, and specialty pieces can take up to six months to complete. As each garment is entirely handmade, these pieces are one-of-a-kind works of art. 

The designs are made by first stamping the pattern onto the chosen fabrics with ink using a large iron stamp. From there, the artisans use a small hoop to stretch the fabric and embroider the designs using selected threads. 

Once the embroidery is completed, the garments are sent to another community where they finish the smocking detail. The design that this community creates is known as “Hazme Si Puedes,” which literally means “Make Me If You Can.” This design showcases little people, known as “La Familia.” 

A third community then completes these garments by adding hand crocheted detail to the neckline. 

These designs are part of these artisan communities’ identities and heritage and are intended to last for generations.

CARE

Due to the intricate embroidery work, we recommend washing and hanging to dry.
