URSA Textiles is an artisan-made design label in Buenos Aires

 

 

 

 

URSA is a personal project by US-native / Argentine transplant Elizabeth Gleeson.

It evolved organically through the intersection of the desire to preserve traditional textile heritage, appreciation for contemporary handcraft, and a commitment to bringing social development through economic empowerment.

The label is designed in Buenos Aires and produced entirely by hand using locally-sourced natural fibers in communities in Buenos Aires, Catamarca, Formosa, and Jujuy, Argentina, and La Paz, Bolivia.
