Founded in 2016 by Chilean native Catalina Marin, Treko (meaning ‘yarn of wool’ in the native Chilean dialect) is dedicated to preserving the textile traditions of the artisans of Chiloe island - part of an archipelago off the west coast of Chile - and to sharing the creations of these master artisans with the world. The company fuses contemporary design with traditional weaving and knitting techniques dating from the 16th century that have been passed down within the Hilluche community.
