The House of INGA
A lineage,
hand stitched.
Two generations. One sewing machine. A thread that never broke.

Inga and Fiamma.
Designer and muse.

A photograph taken in 2026, twenty four years after the first INGA collection. The thread that runs between them was tied long before either could name it. Twenty four years between this photograph and the first INGA collection.
Chapter One
The designer.
Inga trained in fashion design in Barcelona and spent over two decades in European ateliers before opening her own house.
Every piece is hand stitched on the same machine she taught herself on as a child. It was her grandfather's. It came to her when he passed.
It has never been replaced.

Chapter Two
The muse.
Before INGA was a house of accessories, it was a children's line. And its first model, at two years old, was a girl named Fiamma.
Twenty four years later, the muse returned as a partner. She brought a vocabulary from the wine industry: craft, provenance, the patience of things built by hand.
A new chapter began.
Fiamma modeled the first INGA collection at age two.

Inga's energy and zest for life is as vibrant as her designs. You want to bottle it up and sell it. You want to bottle it up and sell it.

A Sunday feature on Inga and the children's collection she built around her daughter. The article documents the moment a private practice became a public house. Fiamma, age two, stands in the photograph in a hand sewn coat designed for her.

Chapter Three
The relaunch.
It began, as most INGA pieces do, with a request. Fiamma's partner Eddie, an EDM artist, needed something bold enough to meet his stage presence.

She said, "I'll just make it."
She made a blazer covered in safety pins and crystals for a performance at the Sphere. After the show, she insisted Fiamma needed something to match the energy. So she made the first bag. Edgy chains, signature pins, hand placed crystals. Bold enough for the front row, refined enough for anywhere else.
The reaction was immediate. People wanted to know where it came from. That was the moment Fiamma understood. They were making pieces that did not exist anywhere else.

INGA designs statement accessories for those who refuse to blend in. Embellished bags built from hand cut leather and crystal. Beanies lined in velvet.
Every piece is hand stitched in Los Angeles. Every crystal is placed by hand. Every bag tells the story of the woman who made it and the woman who wears it.
