Collection: Maria Canta

Maria Canta is the fruit of an ongoing collaboration between Brazilian artisans and visual artist Janine Mapurunga. We strive to preserve traditional crafts, sustain artisan communities, and share our culture.

With one foot in Brazil and another in California, our philosophy is to bring our rest culture to the hustle culture that has come to reign over contemporary life. May you enjoy our products with a smile on your face and the sun against your back.

Janine Mapurunga is a multifaceted artist who loves to create in a multitude of mediums. A documentary photographer of twenty years, Janine delved into the realm of textiles, where she finds incredible joy playing with vibrant colors. Her inspiration comes from having been raised by her grandma and great grandma in a rural town in Brazil, where food was prepared on a wood-burning stove and clothes were made in a manual singer sewing machine. From these simple family memories comes inspiration for every piece she creates. Volte sempre!
