The Designer

Originally from the sun-kissed shores of Buenos Aires, Argentina, Mecha Benapple has always let sustainability and her love of nature guide her designs. Having studied design at FADU UBA, a university dedicated to design, she learned the techniques that have been used in creating unique pieces for centuries as well as the modern lines that we have come to love today. As a fashion designer in Argentina, she designed her own sustainable fashion label before moving to the Austin, TX to found Mechalita, a company dedicated to bringing women and nature closer through feminine, delicate designs and craftsmanship guided by ethical standards and sustainable materials. Every piece is 100 percent vegan, cruelty-free and fair-trade.
