MODA LAB

Our journey began in 2020 in the midst of the pandemic as a direct-to-consumer e-commerce, showcasing a curated selection of Latin American talent to fashion-conscious consumers. Over the years of working closely with talented designers, we witnessed their passion and dedication firsthand, while gaining invaluable insights into the challenges they faced when expanding beyond our direct channel. Determined to bridge this gap, we embarked on a new chapter, leading to the rebirth of Moda Lab as a B2B tech platform. Today, Moda Lab connects Latin American designers with a network of retailers who are seeking unique and ethically-sourced slow fashion, offering an end-to-end solution for both ends.

Our Mission

At Moda Lab, we are passionate about building a more connected fashion ecosystem. Our mission is to empower Latin American designers and streamline the wholesale process for retailers worldwide.

Empowering Women, Empowering Communities

90% of Latin American fashion brands are founded or led by women. Witnessing their passion and dedication is a constant source of inspiration for our mission to support these female entrepreneurs. Their commitment to ethical practices empowers not only their businesses but also their communities. By partnering with Moda Lab, you join us in celebrating their contributions and fostering a more sustainable fashion future.
