In the first part of this conversation, Carmen Barbeito spoke about the importance of balance between global trends and local production realities, between creative ambition and commercial viability.
In this second part, she delves deeper into how Vishvas International Private Limited integrates sustainability, collaboration, and innovation into every stage of the design process, proving that responsibility and creativity can not only coexist, but also strengthen each other.
Sustainability is becoming central to global fashion. How do you incorporate eco-friendly and recycled materials into your design process while maintaining creativity and aesthetic appeal
Sustainability is no longer a choice, it’s an expectation. For Vishvas, it’s an integral part of our design strategy. We source certified organic, recycled, and low-impact materials, collaborating closely with trusted suppliers who share our values. Designing with these materials can sometimes be challenging, but that’s also what makes it exciting, it pushes us to innovate through textures, natural dyes, and responsible detailing.
Our goal is simple: to deliver collections that are visually strong, ethically aligned, and commercially successful. Every sustainable choice is a creative one too, and that mindset helps us stay progressive and authentic in the global market.
With over 200 new samples developed each month, how do you balance experimentation, creative exploration, and production viability
We’ve built a system that keeps both exploration and efficiency alive. Our sampling process is divided into two clear streams; one dedicated to creative experimentation and the other to commercial readiness. This allows us to explore bold ideas without disrupting the structured pace of our production pipeline.
Each design is evaluated carefully for complexity, cost, and lead time. It’s a structured yet flexible approach that ensures we never lose sight of innovation while staying true to what our clients actually need.
How do you guide your team to consistently create collections that reflect Vishvas’ core values of sustainability, quality, and timely delivery
I lead with clarity and values. Every new collection begins with a detailed brief that defines not just the design direction, but also sustainability goals, quality standards, and delivery expectations. We invest time in training the team on new materials, technologies, and market shifts helping designers think beyond aesthetics to consider impact at every step.
Each designer understands how their decisions ripple across the supply chain from fiber selection to final shipment. That awareness creates accountability, consistency, and purpose.
How have sustainable design expectations evolved among your European clients, and how has your design approach adapted to meet those changing standards
Expectations have evolved rapidly. European clients today want more than organic cotton, they’re asking for full traceability, transparency, and circular design solutions.
In response, we’ve introduced lifecycle thinking into our design process. We focus on waste reduction, expand our library of certified sustainable fabrics, and experiment with modular and recyclable components. Our approach is constantly evolving, because sustainability, by nature, is a journey of continuous improvement.
What inspires me most about my work is the ability to transform global ideas into real, sustainable, and accessible products, all manufactured with precision here at Vishvas.
Leading the design team at Vishvas while working from Spain allows me to bridge continents, ideas, and expectations. It’s a role that challenges and rewards me every day, reminding me that the future of fashion lies in collaboration, responsibility, and a shared commitment to doing things better.
