ZIGFREDABRANDPROFILE

Zigfreda, a Dutch- Brazilian brand believes in boldness and character.

The hand drawn prints, created by Katia, is the signature of the line whose clothes err on the side of a classic yet retro feel.

While proud of its Brazilian origins; as it's from these roots that they derive so much of their design, Zigfreda's European arm gives its designers the ability to step into the heritage of fashion, culture and historical reference.

The result is a mixture of designs and patterns that definitely have its own style  - one that at once offers hints of cultural flavor without being recognizably ethno focused. The balance between what they want people to see and the experience of wearing their clothes should be a first step to finding the other 'you' within yourself.
