A new luxury fashion brand has officially landed on Australian shores, fusing the timeless artistry of Latin America with elegant and meticulous 21st century craftsmanship. Introducing DABEIBA, a new standard in sustainable high-end fashion that celebrates cultural heritage by showcasing an innovative and sophisticated balance between traditional and contemporary design.
Named to honour an ancient Latin American goddess, DABEIBA draws artistic inspiration from the mythical allure and wisdom of its namesake, evoking a narrative of cultural legacy and authenticity. The luxury brand has unveiled its first collection of garments, accessories, and home décor, paying tribute to the rich diversity and traditions of South America by utilising sustainable practices and hiring artists from Colombia, Chile, Mexico, Panama, and Peru to create handwoven, one-of-a-kind pieces.
Co-Founder Lucia Zabala said, “We created DABEIBA as an homage to our culture’s enduring beauty and artisanal mastery. Every item in our collection is a piece of art that brings Latin American heritage to life, capturing an elevated sense of style while remaining deeply connected to sustainable practices.”
By also teaming up with celebrated designers, DABEIBA have committed to pushing he boundaries of elegance, designing each piece with quality, authenticity, and sustainable luxury at the top of their list of priorities.
The debut collection features an exquisite variety of refined pieces: vibrant Iraca palm bags, lushly coloured textiles, and timeless garments—all meticulously crafted with sustainable materials and techniques that respect the natural world. Each piece is intended to not only elevate the wearer’s wardrobe but to depict a tale of craftsmanship and cultural pride.
Co-founder Angelica Mesisca expresses her pride in introducing Latin American heritage to Australia through DABEIBA, “It is deeply fulfilling to share the beauty and spirit of our culture with a new audience. Each piece in our collection embodies the heart and soul of Latin America—a true celebration of tradition, artistry, and craftsmanship. Through DABEIBA, we bring these stories to life, connecting with those who value cultural exchange.”
After a dazzling debut at Adelaide Fashion Week a few weeks ago, DABEIBA’s exclusive Adelaide location store at Casablanca in Stepney will operate by appointment, creating a personalised design and shopping experience. The brand’s online store, launched this September, extends DABEIBA’s vision of refined Latin American luxury to a wider audience, offering Australians the opportunity to engage with these extraordinary designs from anywhere.
The introduction of DABEIBA’s Latin American celebration to Australia’s diverse fashion landscape marks an exciting new chapter in high-end fashion. With plans for annual expansions and the addition of new designers, the brand hopes to set the Australian fashion industry ablaze with their fusion of luxury and culture, weaving the spirit of Latin America into every thread.
