| I started my career in graphic design. I worked for big
companies such as FutureBrand here in Brazil and Mariscal in Spain. Then I
moved to NYC and I start doing an internship at Anna Sui. And working with
fashion gave me a start to develop accessories, and them I finally made a small
collection. I love to mix materials....and colors. I try not to make many of the
same model. Currently, I have an store in São Paulo, Brazil and I sell to
many different stores in São Paulo and Rio!
I use a lot of velvet and leather, I get fabrics from all over the world and
make them very unique and exclusive. I love to mix different colors of leather
too in the same cloth. I don't know if my bags are so special, but I know that
nobody has the fabrics I have, and I'm very worried about the quality, and I
take care of each piece in person. I love to be at the factory all the time. My
target is an woman that travels a lot and knows abut fashion and style. Open
minded, and self confident!
I got started when I came back to Brazil, with a bag full of fabrics and full of
magazines I got in NY. I started because here in Brazil, I did not want to work
for anybody, and I found something that I love to do by myself. However, I
have found that when I am not at the factory, the people that works there
sometimes can get little confused. Once, they did not find the fabric they
wore supposed to put inside the bag and decided themselves what fabric to use on
the interior. Guess what, it was a flower fabric and very ugly and we had
to re-make them all. It was a complete a nightmare!
My greatest achievement was when I was walking on the street and I saw a girl
carrying my bag. I also get many emails of girls asking where they can buy which
is just so nice!
