Our Story

Inspired by the Latin meaning of peaceful and calm, Pacatus was founded in 2019 by Iliana Villatoro, Pacatus is a brand that transcends seasons and trends, embracing a timeless and classic style. From the beginning, Pacatus’ focus was to create long-lasting and comfortable loungewear that could be worn in bed or outside the house – and in the process the brand decided to incorporate Ready-To-Wear into its collections. Pacatus was built with the need to create a fashion brand which production showed the social, ethical and environmental consciousness, and which clothing went beyond aesthetics, all to create a positive impact on the industry and our clients.
