SOLANGE FERRARINI

Solange is from Sao Carlos and moved to Trancoso in 1995, when the village was still calm and full of hippies and artists. She learned to do crochet when she was a teenager and always created pieces to wear. Her favorite pieces were the bikinis and especially when she moved to Trancoso because that was all you needed to have!  She created this bikini when she was living in Trancoso in the 90's when there were music festivals and the color fluorescent became very popular. This bikini became her signature and her passion, she has been selling it at the beach since then. All the pieces are handmade by her and she writes her name inside it. Recently her bikini was copied by many brands all over the world, at the beginning she was very sad, but now she got over it and feels proud that her bikini design has been recognized and admired by so many people.
