WHO IS CASTEV

CASTEV was born in Buenos Aires from a desire both simple and personal: to create clothes I couldn’t find, but deeply wanted to wear. Each piece was designed by hand, cut, tested, adjusted—crafted with a devotion to detail and quality that shaped the entire process.

The first collection was nearly complete when production fell apart. What should have been a full release turned into a quiet pause. The garments were left unfinished, fragmented—some half-sewn, others forgotten in pieces.

But I never stopped thinking about them.

Years later, now based in Italy, I decided to return to that interrupted story. I began reworking what remained—stitch by stitch, by hand. Using vintage Murano glass beads, recycled jewelry, and materials found in local markets, I began to bring each piece back to life.

CASTEV today is not a relaunch. It’s a continuation. A slow, honest, and quiet transformation.

Every piece is meant to be worn, re-worn, and lived in—because if I had to design them again, I would make the same ones.
