Founded in 2012, Little Tienda was born from a simple belief: clothing should be made with care, worn with joy and rooted in respect for both people and planet.

We create limited-edition garments in close collaboration with artisan communities, honouring traditional techniques and cultural stories passed down through generations. Made slowly and thoughtfully using natural fibres, each piece celebrates craftsmanship and is designed to move with the body, becoming part of everyday life.

Guided by a “better, not bigger” philosophy, our season-less collections are timeless and versatile. Thoughtful silhouettes invite layering, ease and longevity — clothes to live in, love and return to, year after year.

Community sits at the heart of everything we do. Little Tienda is a meeting place for those who value colour, creativity and conscious choices, where getting dressed becomes an expression of connection and intention.

Little Tienda is an invitation to slow down, dress with purpose and be part of a more thoughtful way forward.

 

Founder

Little Tienda was founded by Em Dezentje, a mother of four whose background in marketing and corporate HR gave way to a slower, more values-led way of living as a stay at home mum. While raising her children, Em’s love of travel and collecting artisan-crafted goods from around the world deepened her appreciation for traditional craftsmanship and meaningful design. Little Tienda grew from a desire to show up each day feeling considered and well dressed. Even in the midst of motherhood a belief that clothing can be both practical and beautiful, supporting women through the realities and rhythms of everyday life.
