Pera Lima
Pera Lima – clothes with a story – is a Sustainable Women’s wear fashion brand, 100% handmade in Portugal.
The brand was founded by entrepreneur Patrícia Monteiro the moment she returned to her homeland Portugal, after a decade living in Mozambique.
A natural lifestyle, spiced by adventures, travelling unknown cultures, meeting and working with other artists and hand drawing, are all passions and endless memories forging Patrícia life’s vision and Pera Lima DNA.
Being an artist who have lived among and known writers, poets and artisans, hand-drawing patterns are naturally a reflection of these many stories and memories. Therefore, based on her authorial patterns, the brand’s motto is “what if stories could be worn?”
By incorporating a story behind each pattern, Pera Lima adds an extra layer of depth and meaning to each garment.
Clients do not only get a beautiful crafted garment, they get a piece of art, that tells a story.
The brand values the art of storytelling and therefore fashion is perceived as more than a simple aesthetic proposal: “that is why each of our designs is a work of art, crafted with meaning and care. Pera Lima invites its clients to join us on a meaningful self-expression journey, achieved through fashion. With Pera Lima you are not just making a fashion statement, you are making a self-statement.”
The brand’s target audience is a feminine yet modern woman, with an art flavor and sensitive to both fashion and environmental issues.
The brand is committed to a social-economic sustainability of its materials’ origins and quality, paying great attention to all production processes.
Pera Lima embodies uniqueness and timelessness on each produced piece. Therefore, the brand caters for a niche market, with a limited production.
