About

• Sotela is a clothing company based out of Los Angeles started by Hanna Baror-Padilla in 2016
because nothing in her wardrobe fit properly.
• “Sotela” comes from the Spanish word “tela” which means “fabric”. The “so” comes from “sew” and
combined “sew fabric”
• Sotela is a fashion apparel company that promotes radical inclusivity, celebrating size, race, gender,
and age. They create well-designed clothing made without compromising people or the planet and
offer size flexibility without sacrificing style.
•  Each new collection we are deepening our commitment to inclusivity for all body types and genders.
They design each collection with real bodies in mind, not models or mannequins.
• Sustainability practices
• They use better-for-the-environment fabrics such as Lenzing Tencel, Modal, linen and organic cotton. The
chemicals that go into creating Tencel are also reused for future batches in a closed-loop water system.
They dye their linen so that lessens the biodegradability, and have stated they don’t use organic linen due
to limited production. Their cotton requires less water than conventional cotton and is completely
biodegradable. They have thought about experimenting with deadstock, but as most of them are synthetic,
the team worries about their end life – unable to biodegrade and releasing microplastics. The flexible
sizing of each garment ensures customers from not having to buy additional clothing (during maternity
until nursing for example), thus saving the environment and saving some money for their customers.
• our commitment to a sustainable supply system includes sourcing only materials made of natural fibers.
We work with a local dye house in LA using nontoxic dyes to minimize our footprint while customizing
our colors to the seasons and what’s inspiring us.
• Further, our packaging is made of 100% recycled materials and is 100% recyclable, and always has been.
•  We hand-sew every piece from start to finish in our California studio.
