“Anna & Juan” is a collective formed by the designers Josefina Eliggi and Luzius Schnellmann in 2011, dedicated to developing sustainable textiles based on the use of plant dyes.

Thrilled by how vibrant and varied natural colours can be, Josefina and Luzius have been doing an intense research on locally available materials, colour sources and old dyeing recipes for more than three years. The aim is not only to rediscover traditional textile techniques but also to apply them in a new and fashionable way. The project’s intention is to design responsibly, increase longevity of textiles, strengthen awareness and build community. As part of the brand’s philosophy, “Anna & Juan” are interested in working in collaboration with companies and people with related goals.

“Anna & Juan” offers naturally coloured yarns, notions, magazines, textile workshops and courses, and selected products.
