Nowadays the brand is located on Madeira island where the brand is part of Moda Madeira since 2019 - till present.

The designer really immerse's herself in the process of researching and in creating the world where the collection gets it's shape. The process is as important as the final result. Fashion is used as a medium of expression as well as a message to the world. Fashion only makes sense to the designer when art is mixed in it.
With womenswear in mind, materials as cotton, nylon, vegan leather are mixed with handmade nets and knits. Oversized relaxed shapes are mixed with fluid silouettes. Acessories are also another focus of the brand.

Garments and acessories to have FUN with!
