CLO’s Salento la Montaña

CLO Intimo will soon launch its upcoming FW2026 collection, Salento la Montaña, “a seasonal offering inspired by the lush mountainous region of southern Colombia,” announced founder Claudia Ochoa. “Drawing from the natural textures, layered greenery and artisanal heritage of Salento, the collection translates landscape into textile—balancing delicacy, structure and sensuality across multiple fabric programs.”

“Salento is a place where nature feels alive in every detail—the mist, the mountains, the richness of the coffee farms and the wax palm forest. This collection reflects that depth through texture and layering, while staying grounded in the craftsmanship that defines CLO.” The collection brings together a “curated mix of the brand’s signature and exclusive fabrications, including Fortuna lace, Malla mesh, Selva eco lace, Piel microfiber, Plumetis fine mesh, and Deseo pinstriped mesh with lace trim. Each material plays a distinct role within the assortment, offering retailers a multifaceted approach to merchandising—from romantic and intricate lace to clean, modern mesh and sustainable textile options.”

“Fortuna lace continues as a cornerstone of the brand, offering recognizable identity and proven sell-through, while Malla mesh provides a lightweight, sheer counterpoint suited for layering and styling. Selva eco lace introduces a sustainability-driven element without compromising on design integrity, aligning with increasing consumer demand for responsible materials. Piel microfiber delivers a smooth, second-skin foundation, supporting everyday wearability, while Plumetis and Deseo add texture and visual interest through subtle pattern and structure,” Ochoa continued.

“Designed with versatility in mind, Salento la Montaña supports a wide range of retail environments—from core replenishment to fashion-forward assortments. The interplay of textures encourages cross-merchandising and multi-piece purchases, while CLO’s one-size adjustable silhouettes continue to provide ease of fit across a broad customer base.” As with all collections, CLO Intimo maintains its commitment to 100% Made in Colombia production. “By working closely with specialized, family-owned ateliers in Medellin, the brand ensures consistency in quality, ethical production practices, and reliable delivery timelines. Exclusive textile development, particularly in lace, remains central to the brand’s differentiation in the market.”

Founded in 2003, CLO Intimo is based in New York with showrooms in New York and Los Angeles, warehousing and shipping from Miami, and production in Medellin—known as the “City of Eternal Spring”—where each piece is brought to life through generations of craftsmanship.
