About Mara Brazil

Mara is a luxury brand specializing in handcrafted bags, each piece composed of over 1,000 carefully made stitches. We blend traditional Brazilian craftsmanship with contemporary design to create timeless accessories. Founded by Heloiza Martins and Rayssa Ferrete - two Brazilian women living in the United States - Mara produces each collection in collaboration with skilled artisans across Brazilian States such as Espirito Santo, São Paulo, Ceará, and Maranhão. These women are the heart of our brand, carrying forward techniques passed down through generations while embracing innovation. We focus on supporting small artisan communities, empowering women by providing significant economic opportunities while honoring and sustaining Brazil’s rich cultural legacy.Read their story
