About Leafy Natural Couture

Leafy Natural Couture is a sustainable luxury brand dedicated to creating timeless yet original, modern, and conceptual handmade garments bringing together the ancient art of crochet and Silvia Vassão's contemporary design. Inspired by her gypset lifestyle, Silvia designs destination wear for hip and sophisticated women who value quality, sustainability and uniqueness. We create fashion made to last, versatile pieces that transition from day to night and from beach resorts to city. Leafy's Collections feature handmade crochet pieces carefully handcrafted from hand-spun silk yarn dyed with organic pigments (such as mate herb, eucalyptus fiber, coffee and urucum). Our dresses, kaftans, tops and swimwear are produced by women artisans living in small fishing villages in Southern Brazil. Since 2008 we have been fostering their economic independence while keeping alive traditional hand-weaving techniques. Leafy is 100% anti-industrialization. Other than exceptional artistry, it takes only two elements to make our clothes: a needle and the purest yarn.Read their story
