MWANI STORE - MEET OUR ARTISAN
Today we open the doors of our studio to introduce the person behind each piece that reaches you: Andreia Fortuna, the creative soul of Mwani Store.
All our capulanas come directly from Mozambique, a country rich in color, culture and symbolism. It is in Portugal, with careful and passionate hands, that these stories in fabric gain new life.
Andreia is 25 years old and since she was little she has shown that her world is made of color, shapes and imagination. The taste for detail and the fascination for creating were always present. At the age of 16, he took a professional Pre-Press course, where he began to master digital design tools. But it was when she entered the Lisbon Fashion School, on the Fashion Coordination and Production course, that she felt the real "click". It was there that she realized that her path involved giving form to what she felt — through art, fashion and creation with purpose.
Mwani was born from this deep desire to live off what you love. It was the desire to unite cultures, to express emotions through the vibrant patterns of capulanas, and to bring joy to the simplest routines that drove the creation of the brand.
Today, Andréia is much more than a craftswoman. She is a designer, seamstress, content creator, visionary and attentive to details. Design, project, cut, sew and dream each piece. She is the one who gives shape to ideas, with delicacy, persistence and enormous respect for artisanal work.
Each Mwani product is handmade, with time, intention and a lot of love. It carries within itself a story, an inspiration and a desire: that you feel unique when wearing it, and that this small detail in Capulana brings you joy and authenticity to your day.
Your support has been essential on this journey. It is thanks to each message, each order, each share, that we are able to continue creating. And we're just getting started. We believe the best is yet to come — with new ideas, new patterns, new ways to celebrate the beauty of being who we are.
