WE

DCC, based in Barcelona, is dedicated to promoting ethical craftsmanship globally. Specializing in textiles, decoration and art, our B2B services facilitate collaborations between artisans and brands, ensuring fair business practices and benefiting both producers and preserving cultural traditions.

Originally founded with the mission to support Latin American artisanal practices, DCC actively contributes to the sustainable economic development of the EU.

With our team based in Europe and strategic partnerships in Latin America, DCC presents a curated selection of artisanal techniques, designing products with positive impact. Each DCC product carries with it an identification code that allows you to scan the code and explore the entire production traceability. In this way, you can learn more about the communities involved, preserve tradition and recognize authorship. In addition, each product has a certification registered in blockchain, guaranteeing transparency and authenticity.

Led by Latin American fashion and textile designers based in Barcelona, the DCC team works closely with communities and brands to combine artisanal techniques with contemporary aesthetics.

Our products not only promote sustainable artisanal practices, but also contribute to the preservation of economic and cultural heritage, aligning ourselves with the principles of fair trade.
