History
Founded in 2020 by artist and content creator Lela Brandão, the company emerged from a digital community focused on feminist discourse and body image. It represents a shift in the Brazilian market toward slow fashion and ethical local production. The brand’s significance lies in its 'comfort is revolution' philosophy, which critiques the historical discomfort of female attire. It has influenced contemporary retail by integrating social activism with garment design and size-inclusive manufacturing.
