Production

Have you ever wondered “Who made your clothes?” 

This type of question may seem pointless, since we often buy items that cross oceans to reach us and are produced on a large scale to meet a standard of unbridled consumption.

However, when we reflect on this, we realize that there is a “who” before the “clothes”, and by knowing in what conditions, where and why these people work, we achieve the clarity necessary to know where we want to invest our resources, what we are co-creating with them.

At Villa, the clothes are made by 5 women , all from Rio Grande do Norte. Maria Erivanete and Maria José are neighbors and work in Parnamirim; Cida, Fátima and Raiane are from the same family and work in São José do Mipibu.

They work in their own homes, they love what they do, they learned the craft empirically, that is, by observing and sewing, and they are also the ones who set the price for their work.

They are great at what they do and because they are paid fairly , they live their financial independence with dignity.

And for Villa, talking about them, in addition to who embroiders his clothes, who paints, who dyes his clothes, is a reason for satisfaction and great joy, including because there are healthy relationships established with these people and because it is our role to go against the obsolete format of making fashion, which values ​​profit more than people.
