our brand's vision

Marta Mangano combines her deep-rooted passion for textiles with an avant-garde approach to knitwear design. With a background in fashion and fine arts, she explores the boundaries between clothing and body, transforming upcycled materials into wearable works of art. Her meticulous process ensures that each garment is not just clothing - it is a piece of storytelling, emotion and movement.

sustainable and affordable luxury​

 

rtama transforms upcycled yarns into exclusive, handmade designer pieces, proving that sustainability and high-end fashion can coexist. Marta personally selects textures, colors and knit structures, crafting each garment on a manual knitting machine. This slow fashion approach ensures uniqueness, quality, and a deep connection between designer and wearer.
