NANNACAY BY HARPER’S BAZAAR ARABIA

The freshness of Brazilian fashion draws attention abroad

Taking into account the numerous types of raw materials, layouts and finishes, the design of Brazil is more explored and recognized outside the country than inside.

One of the brands that reverberates more and more internationally is Nannacay, founded by creative director Marcia Kemp. Linked to the Child Statute as a volunteer for more than 10 years, something echoed inside her saying that she would leave her legacy in the world.

Always captivated by culture and diversity, it was on a trip to Africa that she had the insight that she would work with crafts. Her main mission is to transform people’s lives with creativity. More than just fashion, it’s a new social fashion project: Creative Hands Transforming Lives.

Bringing job opportunities to dozens of women, the brand name is of Quechua Aimara origin, which means sisterhood of women.

With only 8 years on the market, Nannacay’s pioneering spirit was evident when it was one of the first brands to diversify materials, launching pieces in crochet and straw. Sustainability and empowerment are the main pillars of the brand.

And despite the short time of existence, Nannacay already shares selections of pieces with great and consecrated brands; this is the case in the article from Harper’s Bazaar by Laura Jane Brown about handmade bags that bring the freshness of summer and the desire to travel. Names such as Prada, Valentino and Saint Laurent are present on the list. Organically, the only Brazilian piece is the Felipa bag by Nannacay.

Nannacay was also the focus of London’s Good Newsletter, in the article “Good Qs with Marcia Kemp, Nannacay”, which brings together 10 questions about Marcia’s life and brand.

Nannacay is also present on the world’s leading platform in the online luxury fashion market, FARFETCH, with 98 handbag models. Among them, 2 exclusive models launched by Nannacay + FARFETCH, from the We Galactics collection.
