PatBO

BORN AND RAISED IN BRAZIL, PATRICIA OPENED A MULTI-BRAND STORE IN HER HOMETOWN OF UBERLÂNDIA. SOON AFTER, SHE BEGAN RECEIVING REQUESTS TO DESIGN HER OWN COLLECTION, CEMENTING A BRAND INSPIRED BY COUTURE EMBROIDERIES AND INTRICATE BEADING. RATHER THAN OUTSOURCING THE BRAND’S DNA, PATRICIA FOUNDED A SCHOOL IN UBERLÂNDIA FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF TEACHING LOCAL WOMEN THIS ARTISANSHIP. MORE THAN 400 WOMEN ARE NOW ABLE TO SUPPORT THEIR FAMILIES BECAUSE OF THE SKILLS THEY HAVE ACQUIRED. THEY IMBUE EACH PIECE WITH THEIR DEDICATION AND PASSION, UNDERSTANDING THAT EVEN THE TINIEST OF DETAILS MATTER.
