Cristina Pineda and Ricardo Pineda created Covalín Covalín 20 years ago, a brand that emerged as part of a collaboration between the two Mexican designers and the Mexican National Institute of Anthropology and History. The value of the brand lies in the exaltation of the mythology of peoples and indigenous roots of Mexico.
Since 1996, Pineda Covalín enhances the aesthetics of the various forms of expression-architecture, sculpture, painting, and codices of Mexican popular culture and captures the essence of pre-Hispanic roots in textile design and fashion accessories.

Pineda Covalin´s main goal of taking Mexico´s name abroad, excellent translation of their inspirations on fabrics, their original concept and elegant designs has made me completely fall in love with the entire brand.

Veronica began designing dresses six years ago, although it was only four ago when he officially launched its brand VERO · DIAZ . Since then it has been a steady upward road to success for Vero. Her pieces have moved from her garage to her very own boutique, have been featured in various magazines throughout the country and she even won 3rd place in Elle Mexico’s design contest in 2012 (and will be back with a bang this year)
Since its inception , every garment is characterized by being made with custom fabrics worked by hand, drawing the attention of the demanding Yucatecan society .
