Ellima was born from love, memory, and the longing to bring beauty back into the world—not as spectacle, but as something quietly, deeply felt.

Founded by Katharina Hogenkamp and Rodolfo Guillen Rossi, Ellima is a made-to-order house rooted in European elegance and Peruvian soul.

Our name carries the initials of the women who came before us—silent muses of grace and craftsmanship whose legacy now lives in every seam.

We don’t follow trends. We follow feeling.

Every piece is created slowly, with intention, in our atelier in Lima—made to measure, made to last. We believe clothing should carry meaning, not just design.

Our collections are not tied to seasons. They are chapters in the life of a woman who dresses not for the moment—but for memory, for emotion, for inner ritual.

She might be waiting in a sunlit courtyard in Lima, walking through a palazzo in Sicily, or dreaming behind a window in Paris.

Wherever she is, she dresses for what she evokes—not what she displays.

Lima is more than our home. It’s our heartbeat.

We don’t borrow from its beauty. We are of it.

Ellima exists to help restore Lima’s forgotten grandeur—and to return it to its rightful place in the world of beauty and culture. Not as a footnote to Paris or Milan, but as a capital in its own right.

Ellima is not just a brand.

It’s a woman. A memory. A feeling you carry.
