ODILE

ODILE was the name of my grandmother, my greatest source of inspiration. Her life-long philosophy of “Less is More”, developed through the tough times of World War II, is continually respected in our approach to design.

I remember so fondly my visits to her Parisian apartment, where I would spend hours watching her sewing a Liberty-printed bolero, knitting the most stylish mittens or creating a magnificent jewelry box out of recycled paper.

Language literate with a PHD in German & Latin, she traveled the world solo from Asia to the US and her stories nurtured my imagination as a teen. This was the source of my passion to discover new lands and my motivation to face exciting & demanding challenges.

ODILE IS A PORTUGUESE LIFESTYLE BRAND based on simple slow-life values & high-quality pure materials, revisiting traditional Portuguese craft techniques with a contemporary look
