INTERNACIONAL SHOWROOM

Our embroidery on metal has its roots in the traditional cross stitch, but soon developed into an exclusive technique which adapts to the curves of a jewel’s surface and shapes itself accordingly. 

​

In the beginning the pieces were embroidered by the brand’s designer, Maria Frering, but with growing demand the brand reached out to COOPA-ROCA. 

​

COOPA-ROCA is a social company that began in the Rocinha favela in 1981.

From 2015 it has expanded into a central area of Rio de Janeiro and began working with textile artisans from many underprivileged areas of Rio de Janeiro. 

​

COOPA-ROCA’s mission is to provide technical training for artisans looking to achieve financial empowerment through work. 

​

In the start of 2020, 75 artisans had subscribed to the textile crafts workshops. The workshops focus on the enhancement of each artisan’s set of textile skills and as a consequence improves the quality of service provided by COOPA-ROCA as a whole.
