Bio
Her world began in her father’s workshop. He is a very well known silversmith in Salta, Argentina.
When she was 14 years old, Roxana began to experience the mixture of every and all materials she used
to find, and started working with unusual combinations, such as alpaca, plastic, wool, cotton, and other
typical elements from her land.
At the age of 17, she made her first outlines for a collection of accesories, in which she included the designs of bags and high heels made of silver 925 and alpaca, and applied on them traditional techniques,
such as engraving and emboss.
For this collection, she won a grant by Presidencia de la Nación named “Beca a la excelencia Cultural,
Expresiones Folcklóricas”.
What makes her firm unique are her creations, in which she includes not only industrial but also traditional pieces of clothes, such as aguayo and barracan, two different types of multicolored pieces of
clothes woven on a loom.
