Natalia Rios is a brazilian designer who strongly believes in the future of hand-embroidery. After graduating in fashion and a long time experience with several techniques such as crochet, knitting, lace and knitwear, she decided to travel and specialize in the work she truly loves.

 

In Paris, Natalia graduated from École Lesage where she learned and perfectioned the most varied skills in the construction of textile surfaces and high fashion embroidery. 

 

Her enchantment for handcrafted work is a family heritage. Since very young, the future designer followed the steps of her mother and aunt, former owners of a knitting factory in the south of Brazil, and strolled around sewing machines, weaving looms and needles. Just like the most intricate fabrics, her path was created stitch by stitch in an original and unique way. 

 

Natalia was the first authorized instructor for the Swarovski brand in South America and has a postgraduate in Strategic Management from FAAP University. She runs her own atelier & school in São Paulo where she offers daily classes and where she creates her original and customized work for clients.
