Every Del Día and Teca are the products of many hands. But whether they feature aquamarine blue, deep purple or ruby red— that’s up to the sewer. They put together the funky colour combos that make each item distinct, giving them final creative control over every backpack, satchel, vest and jacket in the Del Día and Teca families.

“The Cálido’s main side shares a lot of the same design language [as the original Teca]. However, on the reverse side we introduced a new square quilt that we haven’t used before on our insulated jackets,” Ben explains. “We wanted to offer another insulation option [that didn’t incorporate] the down we use in many of our styles. It is important that we are listening to our customers who do not want to support the use of feathers.”
