In an industry that is changing and moving at breakneck speed, where trends are becoming increasingly unpredictable, few initiatives invite us to pause and look back to understand the origins of what we wear, its production process, and its composition. “Textileando” was created precisely as that necessary pause—a space to listen, question, and delve deeper into what is often viewed superficially. Launched by Protela, this project takes the form of a podcast that opens up an under-explored space within the sector: discussing textiles as the main focus, beyond their traditional role as a raw material in fashion.

Colombiatex de las Américas, the trade show that connects the Colombian textile industry globally, opened its 2026 edition highlighting innovation, trends, and sustainability. As an opening act, the company Protela kicked off the event from its plant in Bogotá with a fashion show that demonstrated how creativity, design, and textile technology are integrated into each proposal. Reaffirming its role as a key player driving the evolution of the industry nationally and internationally.

Protela celebrates the trajectory of the collaborators who have left their mark over time, from those who complete their first years to those who add decades of commitment and passion for their work.
