Vision

We believe that fashion and design should focus on the respect of the materials and of the planet and bring this respect to the reach of people. This is why, through our sustainable leather jewelry, we wish to provide women unique hand made pieces, long lasting and feminine.

Mission

We aim to becoming a referent in the bridge that exists between the world of luxury jewelry and the world of crafts, taking as axis the use of recycled leather. This bridge is Beauty, in a holistic sense, that promotes the reduction of environmental impacts, the creation of jobs and the respect for the people and the planet.
