António
António is the founder of our company. The father, the craftsman, the inspiration.
Our brand was born from the desire to pay tribute to his legacy and celebrate our family heritage.
Each model is a tribute to the tradition that takes the name of a member of this clan, perpetuating this art that unites us.
The founders
We are two designer sisters, in the second generation of a Portuguese family leather goods company.
A pair of similar people, united by common causes and values, sharing the same aesthetic vision.
In this environment of comfort and heritage, we designed a project that reflects who we are, and what we want to see in the world: A slow fashion brand, that respects time, people and the environment.
Thus, we added to the means, the desire to express ourselves through beautiful objects, at the same time we paid homage and thanked António, our father.
The Hands
Quality combines skill and time, but also dedication and taste.
In the craft, we are a family of Women: the artisans and us, and us and the artisans. One does not exist without the other.
Excellence is the outcome of this sharing.
Through these experienced hands, the products are built with skill and mastery to last more than a lifetime.
The Values
We believe in the slow living lifestyle, where people and the environment are essential.
In the workshop, everyday life is carried out with joy, promoting good conditions for carrying out tasks.
We create timeless accessories with a robust foundation, made from durable and repairable materials, encouraging more conscious purchasing. In keeping with this, we choose local suppliers, with whom we maintain a relationship of true collaboration, with a view to a common purpose.
We are committed to offsetting our carbon footprint by collaborating with environmental projects that help regenerate our planet.
The Material
The leather is a noble raw material, a by-product of the food industry, biodegradable.
It is the most durable organic material applied to fashion in this sector.
The canvas acquires a unique patina, ruled and marked by time, with thermal insulation properties.
It is flexible, treatable and repairable.
Vegetable Tanning is the most sustainable leather treatment process, as it involves the application of vegetable tannins that are different from chrome tanning.
Organic tanning is sustainable, as no metals are used in the tanning process.
This is our choice, materials that reflect our values, because we believe that fashion should be responsible and has the power to inspire change, promoting a new form of consumption.
