a flor da pele
A sanctuary of wearable forms. Each piece a relic, a passage, a body becoming something else.
A FLOR DA PELE LIMIAR · BECOMING"à flor da pele — a constant moment in which emotions overcome reason, in which feelings spring up like sweat from the skin."
SÃO is a threshold. A name that carries a mother, a language, a body — and the untranslatable space between two worlds. ˈsɐw̃: to be. To be well. To exist in the in-between without resolution.
Each corpo is born from the liminal — that threshold state of crisis, ritual, and becoming. Not a garment. A relic of process. A silhouette that asks: how does the body speak when it is between who it was and who it is becoming?
Conceived in Zürich. Rooted in Saudade. Made by hand, held with care — for those who know what it is to exist at the edge of two things at once.

Wearable MythsEach garment exists as a corpo — an embodiment, an artifact, an evolving relic. Pieces are available on commission.
