Welcome To Our Shop

A Gato Designs is a small independent fashion label based in the DC Metro area. Designs take inspiration from Japanese street fashion trends as well as Alternative fashions produced with mindfulness for slow fashion, inclusivity, and self-expression. Most items are produced in-house and designed to maximize the use of materials and reduce waste. Collections such as the Oversized Brooches make use of upcycled fabric flowers and base materials from other projects. The Solo Basura line is complete made of scrap materials from production. Each collection is a unique look at a moment in time and the creative movement of the lead designer: Paulina A. Gato.
