Our Story | My Paloma – Bridging Latin American Craft & Modern Design

Our Story

Our Story
Where Presence Meets Craft

Like the mythical dove, My Paloma moves between worlds. Between tradition and innovation, art and utility, heritage and modernity.

We are a platform for intentional fashion, shaped by the textures of Latin America and complemented by the modern simplicity of Australian design. Founded on the belief that fashion should hold memory, not momentum, our pieces are rooted in story, made with soul, and worn to be remembered.

To us fashion is a vehicle for storytelling, cultural exchange, and collective memory.

By connecting Latin American craft and creativity to a global stage, we help sustain artistic traditions and innovations that are often overlooked in the fashion mainstream. This elevation of creative voices and design evolution also supports the next generation of makers.

The Heart Behind the Heirlooms
At the centre of My Paloma is Eliana Gamboa - A woman shaped by dual geographies, deep intuition, and the belief that fashion is both memory and medium.

Drawing from her Peruvian roots and Australian upbringing, Eliana carries with her a lifelong reverence for the beauty of things made slowly, worn deliberately, and passed down with meaning. My Paloma is her canvas, a space where cultural legacy and editorial design meet, without compromise.

Every silhouette, every fibre, every image reflects her vision: that luxury should not compete, but endure. That fashion should not perform, but connect.

A Vision Rooted in Purpose

Eliana founded My Paloma driven by a desire to preserve stories and disrupt mainstream fashion narratives. Her work is a living bridge between artisans and collectors, between ancestral making and contemporary refinement. She is committed to reshaping the way we think about fashion - not as seasonal collections but as emotional architecture.

Under her direction, My Paloma champions sustainable production, heritage partnerships, and women-led craft communities across Peru and beyond. Eliana’s mission is simple: to create garments that hold significance for both creators and wearers.
