ARGENTA LAB _____

Argenta is a Crochet Lab where I explore the limits of textures, morphology and my own mind through wearable crochet pieces. Argenta Lab is a universe where all of my passions converge: design, art, fashion and photography. Throughout small capsule collections, released timeless, I explore different ideas, concepts and patterns to create a new way of wearability and communication. This project started on the road and it is now based in Montreal, Quebec.
