About Vanilla-Sand

The affection for the Portuguese culture and the desire to protect mother earth is at the beginning of this brand. Our founder, Corinna, was publishing her thesis about sustainable fashion. It wasn’t long before her conversations with like-minded people and her dream converged into a business plan that would soon become the global fashion brand, VANILLA SAND. They fuse German accuracy with the Portuguese laid-back warmheartedness. Together, they have conceived and developed a label for their customers who, just like themselves, desired to feel easily and confidently chic with a focus on sustainable integrity and community. They’ve partnered with manufacturers in Portugal as well as in same-lingual Brazil to create hand-made garments for the modern woman or man and their off-duty lives. The commitment of the label, apparent in each collection, is to source natural or recycled fabrics and to encourage local artisans in comfortable and safe conditions. Most brands take between 12-18 months before releasing designs, but at Vanilla Sand, a sketch can become a dress in about two or three months, thanks to our local factories. We recycle and strive to be a zero-waste company. Collections are purposely created in small, sustainable runs and we plan to run out of stock.Read their story
