Treasures of Brazil brings art and nature into quiet balance, translating Brazil’s vibrant heritage into sustainable jewellery and handcrafted bags designed for modern life. Each piece is made in collaboration with Brazilian artisans, honouring generations of skill, natural materials, and a thoughtful approach to making.
We spoke with Treasures of Brazil about building a bridge between Brazil and London, refining raw beauty into contemporary design, and why craftsmanship and sustainability remain at the heart of every collection.
What inspired the creation of Treasures of Brazil?
Treasures of Brazil was born from a desire to connect two worlds — the rich natural beauty of Brazil and the refined, design-conscious audience I met in London.
I grew up surrounded by Brazil’s colours, textures and craftsmanship. When I moved to the UK, I realised how little of that artisanal heritage was visible here. I wanted to create a bridge — a brand that would honour the hands that make each piece while presenting it in a contemporary, elegant way.
It started with small collections and has grown into a platform that supports artisan communities and celebrates nature through jewellery.
How do you blend Brazil’s natural beauty with contemporary design?
Nature is always the starting point — golden grass, buriti fibre, natural stones, real flowers. These materials carry their own character and story.
My role is to refine them. I focus on clean lines, balanced proportions and a modern finish so that the pieces feel effortless and timeless. It is a dialogue between raw beauty and quiet sophistication.
How central is artisanal craftsmanship to your jewellery and bags?
It is at the heart of everything we do.
Each piece is handmade by skilled artisans in Brazil, many from small communities where these techniques have been passed down for generations. The craftsmanship is not just a method of production — it is the soul of the brand.
We work closely with our makers, ensuring that tradition is respected while evolving designs for today’s woman.
How do you ensure sustainability across your materials and processes?
Sustainability begins with our materials. Golden grass, for example, is harvested once a year in a way that allows it to regenerate naturally. Many of our fibres and seeds are collected responsibly and support local ecosystems.
We produce in small batches, avoid overproduction, and focus on longevity rather than trends. For me, sustainability is not only environmental — it is also about sustaining communities, skills and cultural heritage.
What moment has been most defining in Treasures of Brazil’s journey so far?
Opening our boutique in Marylebone was a defining milestone. It transformed the brand from a travelling concept into a physical space where customers could truly experience the story behind each piece.
Seeing clients return, bring friends, and connect emotionally with the craftsmanship has been incredibly meaningful. It confirmed that there is space in the market for authenticity, heritage and thoughtful design.
