We already have the completed Business Model, some fabrics already prepared for making garments, the schemes of or rxhibitors for stores, a digital book explaining natural dyeing, and a team of partners to materialize what is still in digital format
During the last year we started to create fabrics with botanical dyeing and printing.
The interest has been immense. We´ve study Circular Economy, as these Business Models are totally in accordance with our purpose and vision. the next phase, in order to continue this business model within Circular Fashion, is to develop a clothing line, with our fabrics dyed with plants or with botanical printing.
This phase, however, already requires some investment in quality, durable fabrics, with environmental certification and a working fund to pay those who make the pieces. We also want to make known, to those who purchase our parts, the circuit, who is working, the manufacturing process, the origin of the materials, ... We want to develop an application that reads a QR code associated with the parts that provides all the information about the product, to showcase the Circular Economy, to talk about textiles today and their ecological footprint, to show our business model, associated with Circular Fashion.

About the author
I'm Susana Neto, I'm a textile artist, I do botanical dyeing and printing on natural fiber fabrics.
Until March 2020, I was responsible for a place dedicated to the Arts, with a gallery, painting classes and several workshops. It was the Atelier do Cais and was located in a historic building, at Cais de Gaia, InVila Nova de Gaia, Portugal.
I had to cancel everything we had planned for the following months and close the doors. As I had no other source of income, I had to think, very quickly, what I could do, from home, and that was in order of what the World was asking for.
I always loved the textile art and started to study a lot on the subject and to test the plants. At the same time, I took several courses on circular economics, which is a business model with which I identify a lot.
When I saw these wonderful fabrics, created by Nature, through my hands, already made, I was sure that the next step would be to use these fabrics in garments.
Each piece I make is unique, just like every flower or leaf in Nature. The fabrics I use are environmentally certified and the pieces are already thought from the origin for the lowest consumption of material, the smallest ecological footprint, quality, durability, comfort and elegance.
For me, what we buy, what we wear, says something about who we are and where we want to go. I very much want us to be part of this more conscious Future.

We are already developing the design of the garments. We already have experience with botanical dyeing and printing. We need help for the purchase of environmentally certified natural fiber fabrics and for payment of seamstresses and marketing, namely an application associated with the brand that will show the process of idealization and manufacture of the pieces, which will also have information about circular fashion and the importance of Circular Business Models.
We already have clients interested in promoting and selling our articles, but we need some money to materialize what we have already envisioned.
As soon as we have some amount available, we will move on to making our collection of clothes with botanical printing and dyeing.
As soon as we have your help, in a maximum of one month, everything will be on the market, since most of the work is already done.

Obrigada!
A todos os que apoiaram, generosamente, esta campanha, envio um enorme agradecimento!
A vossa generosidade foi extraordinária!!
Estive muito ausente nos últimos meses, mas estive a trabalhar bastante!
O vosso contributo foi imensamente generoso, e trouxe-me a este ponto, a uma nova fase e uma fase de inovação e prosperidade! Graças ao vosso contributo!
Desta forma, convido-vos a visitar, nos dias 2 e 3 de julho, a Mostra, onde, também vou estar com os meus artigos, na Capela dos Coimbras, em Braga, agora já com um produto mais consistente, vocacionado para os Decoradores e Designers de Interiores, no entanto, sempre com produtos ao dispor do Público em Geral.
Desejo que tenham presente que nada do que faço teria chegado a este ponto, sem o vosso generoso contributo!
Muito Obrigada!
