Founded in Mexico City in 2020 by Patricia Maria Pietri, Costaiia operates at the intersection of fashion, material culture, and narrative practice. Conceived as an ongoing investigation into the cultural and symbolic dimensions of dress, the brand collaborates with artisans and craftspeople throughout Mexico to develop garments that emerge from sustained dialogues with traditional textile knowledge and inherited techniques.

Rather than treating clothing as an autonomous object, Costaiia approaches the garment as a cultural artifact—one capable of carrying memory, identity, and narrative across time. Each collection draws from archival research, oral histories, mythology, folklore, and domestic rituals, examining the ways in which collective memory becomes embedded in material form. These references are not reproduced literally, but translated into contemporary visual and tactile languages that negotiate the relationship between past and present.

Production is rooted in close collaborations with weaving, embroidery, dyeing, and ceramic workshops across Mexico, integrating handcrafted processes with carefully sourced materials. Collections are produced in limited quantities, privileging longevity, craftsmanship, and intentional production over seasonal cycles and mass manufacturing.

At its core, Costaiia is an exploration of how clothing can function as a repository of cultural memory. Through the preservation of artisanal knowledge and its reinterpretation within contemporary practice, the brand seeks to create garments that acknowledge the histories, labor, and material intelligence from which they emerge.

  • Costaiia pieces are made to order to reduce waste and support a more sustainable way of producing clothing. Each item is carefully created after your order is placed, which means it typically takes 7–14 days to ship. Thank you for supporting thoughtful production and slower fashion.

  • Because all Costaiia pieces are made to order, we do not accept refunds or returns for reasons such as incorrect sizing, change of mind, or personal preference. Producing items only after they are purchased allows us to reduce waste and operate in a more sustainable way.

    Refunds or replacements will only be offered if:

    • The item arrives with clear manufacturing defects, or

    • The wrong item was sent compared to the order placed.

    If this occurs, customers must contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos of the issue so our team can review and resolve the situation.

  • Once an order has been shipped and handed to the carrier, Costaiia is no longer responsible for lost, stolen, or delayed packages during transit.

    Customers will receive a tracking number once their order ships so they can monitor delivery directly with the shipping carrier. If any delivery issues arise, we recommend contacting the carrier associated with your tracking number for further assistance.

    Depending on your location, your order may be subject to import taxes, customs duties, or additional fees once it arrives in your country. These charges are determined by your local customs office and are the sole responsibility of the customer.
