Our Brand Story

Artesanato emerged from a profound admiration for Brazilian craftsmanship and a vision to introduce its distinctive artistry to a global audience. Our story began in the heart of Brazil, immersed in a vibrant cultural landscape and a rich artistic legacy that profoundly shapes our designs.

The founders, Fernanda Lima and Isabela Souza, are driven by a shared commitment to preserve time-honored techniques while crafting contemporary pieces that harmonize with modern lifestyles.

Each Artesanato bag is a narrative of heritage, expertise, and unwavering dedication, meticulously brought to life by skilled artisans who infuse their passion into every creation. We meticulously select the finest, ethically sourced materials, ensuring that each piece is not only visually stunning but also enduring and truly exceptional.

Our Mission

At Artesanato, we are driven by a singular mission: to curate unique, handcrafted designs that celebrate individuality and empower self-expression. Our commitment extends beyond aesthetics; we are dedicated to offering pieces that not only captivate the eye but also embody our unwavering pursuit of quality and ethical craftsmanship.

Our ambition is to transport a piece of Brazil's soul to London, seamlessly blending traditional artistry with contemporary sensibilities, ensuring that every Artesanato creation is a statement of style for any occasion.
