Cobijawear: Re-envisioning Fashion with Brenda Equihua

In this episode, we get an inside look at how Equihua founder Brenda Equihua first developed the concept for her novel portal and cobija wear brand that has since then been worn by artists like Bad Bunny and Farina and featured in publications like Vogue Magazine, Telemundo and the LA times. From spirituality in the creative process and the spirit of reciprocity to how we deserve nice things, we also delve into how a sustainable future for fashion and human beings requires a complete overhaul and breaking with the grueling pace set by the current version of capitalism. Brenda also gives a shoutout to the brands Nopalera, Kids of Immigrants, and Shop Latinx. Explore Brenda’s latest portal wear at Equihua.us and follow the brand on Instagram. Mentioned on this Episode: Encuentro Creative Retreat Feb. 15 - 19, 2024 in Puebla, Mexico: https://www.tamarindopodcast.com/encuentro Please join us for “Cultivating Financial Liberation” Oct. 5th, 2023 in Highland Park, register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cultivating-financial-liberation-tickets-704841107727 Tamarindo is a lighthearted show where hosts Brenda Gonzalez and Ana Sheila Victorino discuss politics, culture, and self-development.
