Profano Coração

Category: Apparel

Competitions: Brazil

"Profano Coração" is the meeting of tradition with the new. Celebrating the history of Ceará, a land known for its roots in the leather economy and artisanal craftsmanship, the project translates manual techniques into a modern and youthful style. Invoking the artisanal style similar to Espedito Seleiro, a regional cultural heritage, and the historic bobbin lace, Profano Coração seeks to connect with new generations, especially the growing and vibrant nightlife of the capital, Fortaleza.
