Sereia goods encompass an artisan-made collection of handcrafted goods, created with authenticity and love.
Curated leather, upholstery fabrics, woolen remnants, and recycled woven materials intentionally chosen to create one-of-a-kind unique products.
Each uniquely repurposed item takes its new shape and form based on the size, color, and pattern of the fabric pieces. Combining the artistic exterior with functional closures, handles, straps and utilitarian interiors, the finished product is as appealing on the outside as practical on the inside.
Small batch offerings are all built by hand; materials are hand cut, holes are hand punched, rivets added by hand and tabletop press, leather is sewn using industrial leather sewing machine, linings sewn using home sewing machines.
I find inspiration from so many different things – the sea, nature, colors, shapes, textures, cultures outside our own, travel, architecture, the mystical and magical. I value function and utility, time-honored sewing traditions, and the beauty and joy that is available every day all around us.
Part of this inspiration comes through in my love of mermaids, and my drawings and artwork related to the ocean. I take this artwork and personally screen print onto tees, sweats, tote bags and headwear.
