Atelier
Molina
Where author design becomes a second skin.
An author-design house from Buenos Aires where couture craft, artisanal tailoring and textile art converge with contemporary Latin American culture to create garments made to endure — and to become part of the biography of those who wear them.
The designer
Carlos Molina
Behind every piece is the vision of Carlos II Molina, a Venezuelan-Argentine designer trained in Visual Arts. His eye doesn't follow industrial logic, but that of the artist before the canvas: clothing as an extension of the body, as a refuge and as a form of intimate communication.
His pursuit is emotional permanence — to create garments that move you today and are treasured for decades. From the dresses that transform a night to the tailoring that redefines everyday elegance, every design is born to be lived in, not displayed.
We don't outsource. We don't mass-produce. We don't import.
Every garment is born under one roof, from expert local hands, with absolute dedication.
The atelier
Malabia 1116,
Buenos Aires
Where Villa Crespo meets Palermo, our atelier comes alive: a living, two-floor space where the boutique and the creation workshop coexist. Here we design, cut, paint and sew every garment.
Visiting hours
Monday to Saturday · 11 am to 6 pm
The craft
Artisanal, piece by piece
Our fabrics are canvases. Hand painting, artisanal embroidery and experimental dyeing: techniques that give each textile a singular, unrepeatable identity.
Our concept
Demi-Couture & Honest Luxury
We believe in demi-couture: the exact point where the accessibility of prêt-à-porter meets the exclusivity of couture-level craftsmanship.
Textile intervention
We hand-paint, embroider and dye experimentally; we build corsets and create textures with plotter-cut, heat-fused textile vinyl. The fabric stops being a support and becomes a work in its own right.
Limited editions
We work with small runs and exclusive capsules. In a world of infinite copies, we bet on singularity: every piece you choose carries its own story.
In culture
We dress those who move culture
