Who we are
At the heart of LaCocóLab lies a deep conviction: childhood is a crucial stage that should be lived to the fullest, without the constraints of stereotypes and with an open space for creativity, discovery and self-expression in an environment full of beauty and freedom.
We believe that beauty and aesthetics are not mere adornments, but essential components in the educational and personal process of girls and boys.
Each garment we create is a tribute to the richness of children's imagination and respect for our planet.
Since our founding, we have taken on the challenge of combining the art of craftsmanship with a firm commitment to sustainability and environmental and social responsibility.
Our commitment is to offer products that not only respect and honor this vision of childhood, but also contribute, even if only a little, to recognizing the beauty in nature and cultivating a deep respect for the world we live in, which inspires and guides us.
We invite you to explore our LaCocóLab world!
The Illustrations
“Knowing is the first step to learning to respect. It enriches our imagination and creative thinking . ” Bruno Munari
Guatemala is known for its exceptional biodiversity, and our graphics have been designed to reflect its diversity, beauty and natural wealth. Each of the illustrations on our garments represents a species of Guatemalan flora or fauna, privileging the lesser-known ones. With a captivating graphic style and free from stereotypes, they are especially designed so that girls and boys can recognize and become familiar with natural elements, both near and far, from an early age, with the intention of fostering their connection with nature.
the materials
For our creations we use GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified Organic Cotton 🌱
We choose GOTS certified organic cotton for its combination of softness, safety and sustainability. This cotton, free of chemicals and pesticides, is especially kind to children's delicate skin. GOTS certification guarantees that the cotton has been grown under strict environmental and social standards, from cultivation to the manufacturing process. This ensures that our sleepwear is not only safe and comfortable, but also meets the highest standards of sustainability and fairness.
the production process
We focus on collaborating with small, local businesses to ensure high-quality products and support the local economy. Our limited-edition collections offer exclusivity and attention to detail, while minimizing overproduction and environmental impact by reducing transportation. We seek to respect local talent and ensure responsible manufacturing, taking care of every detail to achieve durability. By producing locally, we foster employment and maintain our ethical principles throughout the supply chain.
