My name is Rita.
Born and raised in Lisbon, Portugal, and proud Mom to a 16 year old boy.
I’m a lover of colors and fabrics, good food in good company.
I enjoy long walks, be it through bustling streets of city centers or gentle strolls on the beach
or high atop mountains where the air is at its best,..
I feel at home in most situations.

Always searching for new paths, I find the journey is equally as important as the destination.
I like cozy fireplace conversations with a cup of tea and a warm blanket.
Firm believer in friendship, love and hard work,
I like to dance like nobody ‘s watching and can sing along to Fados with the best of ’em.

Having studied Textile Design,
fabrics and design have always been prevalent in my daily life.
I like to look good, but more importantly feel good as well.
Through traditional means, with quality materials,
I want to make classic, yet modern pieces that are both stylish and comfortable.
