TORIBIO & DONATO was born in 2014 as the result of the fusion of two creative minds that, during their journey, have demonstrated a passion for ethical, social and traceable sustainable design.
The brand's creative process involves constant research on materials and innovation in each of the production processes.
Making its collections reflect a conscious urban lifestyle through handmade, versatile, high-quality garments and accessories. Produced in an inclusive space, free from discrimination and under ethical values, and social, economic and environmental responsibility.
As a brand we believe in the formalization of the fashion industry, that’s why the hiring process is so important. Each collaborator is hired directly, respecting each one of their rights, providing them with the necessary tools for their professional and personal development and their family environment.

Mission
In TORIBIO&DONATO we understand that earth is in danger. That’s why our goal is to use the resources we have (our business, our investments, our voice and our imagination) to innovate and do something about it.
