May’s Vogue Mexico interviewed Brazilian designer Vanda Jacintho, who expresses her nationality in the DNA of her sustainable clothing and accessories brand.
For the latest collection, all jewelry pieces were made with handcrafted recycled resin and certified organic fabrics. “The main engine of his latest pieces is to spread the knowledge of his land, supporting his country and showing the world the immense handmade and sustainable value that resides in Brazil.”
Fair trade, textile traceability and visualization of the communities’ work are some axes that the designer has in her brand. “Sustainable design flourishes in Latin America, a fertile soil where ancestral knowledge, handmade textile techniques and creativity abound. The artistic roots based on Brazilian modernism and the warm climate of the Pantanal, the region where the stylist grew up, are the source of inspiration for her latest collection, which has a strong sustainable character in every handmade detail. ”
