When I had the insight to work with fabric as the main support, it was through the flexibility and possibilities that I could find within the fields of art.
At the time, a small company, Objeto Design, had waxed, working in partnership directly with the design and development of utilitarian and artistic objects in foundry, lacquer, reforestation wood, recycled glass and mirror, aimed at the wholesale market.
I went to train myself in dyeing techniques and classic lashings and learn to deal with this new support and its challenges.
I created the Jade Handmade brand, body and home clothes in silk, linen, cotton and wool, which sought an authorial and more eternal fashion, such as shirts, kaftans, kimonos, pelerines, and scarves. Together with this, the home line was produced, with tablecloths, sofa fabrics, pillows and puffs, within the same principles of manual dyeing, color scale and size grid.
Today the Jade Handmade brand does not exist anymore. But it brought positioning and direction for the authorial work, partnerships with designers, artists and companies.
