This is reflected in ready-to-wear collections made from premium natural fabrics such as silk, linen, or cashmere. Additionally, there is a preference for sustainable fabrics like cupro and ramie. The choice of materials is paramount in every collection, seeking fabrics that are not only visually appealing but also provide a unique sensory experience when in contact with the skin. Softness and fluidity are essential characteristics. Another distinctive element in Cortana’s collections is the exclusive prints, inspired by Rosa Esteva’s watercolors, which add a singular touch to each piece.

Rosa Esteva conceives creativity as a transversal element that is not limited to any specific discipline. Her return to Mallorca during the pandemic, after 20 years away, deeply reconnected her with her roots and inspired her to create a more serene universe in harmony with nature. This reunion with her homeland was the seed for Cortana Casa, a line that revives the island’s artisanal materials and techniques.
