LECARLE MANIFESTO
We decided to add our willingness to create a business that thinks about the environment and sustainable consumption as guidelines for civilization. In the rampant disposal of raw materials, we see where most do not. We create a possibility for environmental and social transformation that combines with luxury in a conscious way.
Furthermore, from fresh or salty waters, we saw the beauty and sophistication of pearls emerge. In the same water, we find the reason for deep work that sees the environment as a finite provider of resources. With the strength of female labor, the identity of a people and in favor of a more sustainable world, we show the world that jewelry can indeed be allied with nature, uniting art, culture and fashion.
Thinking beyond the obvious was the path chosen in creating valuable pieces with innovative, sophisticated and high quality design. Without strings attached and with the purpose of transforming lives in the present and in the future, every day we strengthen our commitment to innovation in creative processes. We are LECARLE, an attitude
FOUNDER AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR
CARLA DUTRA
Carla Dutra was born in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul. Married and mother of a boy, she currently lives in Curitiba.
Daughter of merchants, Carla had a simple childhood, but was always very creative and curious. From an early age, she was involved in projects on the outskirts of the capital of Rio Grande do Sul, where she had her first contact with art, theater and dance. Being from a large family, made up of four brothers, it was common to inherit clothes from the oldest or distant cousins. It was then that the desire to dress with personality and to choose each piece and accessory that, in some way, conveyed one's own personality was born.
“I remember that, as a child, I loved wearing my mother's clothes with a pearl necklace that was always kept. I stood in front of the mirror singing the song ‘Como uma Deusa’, by Rosana, which was the sensation of the time. As an adult, when she was studying law, she remembers being more worried about the looks she would wear than the legal cases that would be covered in the press. That's when I decided, at the same time, to do fashion design. I discovered that I didn't know how to sew, but that I had a very strong creative and rational ability”, says the creator of LECARLE.
After studying Law and moving to Fashion College, she began to develop her first creations: jewelry pieces. In 2015, she entered the jewelry market selling the famous plated semi-jewels. In 2019 Carla began training in Jewelry Design at the Istituto Europeo de Design, in São Paulo, where she had contact with recognized names in the national and international markets, and decided it was time to create her own brand.
Thus, LECARLE was born, a artistic movement that represents values and principles through classic and timeless pieces.
