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!
