The brand

Where

Based in Porto, the second largest town in Portugal, we are blessed with history, a fabulous location smack on the Douro River and Atlantic Ocean, a temperate climate and, last but not least, the most hospitable of people… Mostly well known for its Port Wine Trade, we have lots more going on, so for those of you planning on a visit.

Why

After a degree in Art History and starting my own flower designing company, I decided on following a dream and creating a handcrafted accessories brand, named after my mother’s childhood nickname, Bavash.

The idea was to create designs that being easy to wear, would be different… in so much as they would be born from pieces collected here and there, from hand woven indigenous materials to designer fabrics, from suede and leather craftsmanship flirting with traditional Portuguese passementerie to stones in vibrant colours and different shapes set off as pieces of jewellery in themselves. Everything could be an inspiration!

What

Handcrafted accessories: bags, belts, jewelry and clothing, aimed at women with an independent spirit, style and attitude! Each piece has its own feel and unique character…
