Behind each Isabela Capeto’s embroidery piece are the skilled hands of dedicated artisans. Many of them have been with the brand since it began, forming a close-knit community with a deep connection to Capeto’s journey, which stands out for its commitment to preserving artisanal excellence at the heart of the brand's identity. Its creations are unique and produced in limited editions (maximum of 14). The brand currently works with five team leaders who travel to the atelier, collect the garments and distribute them to over a hundred employees. This garment was made by the women of a cooperative in the city of Campo Grande, led by Fabricia Lima. It is embroidered with strips of bias tape, each section cut and sewn by hand using different thread embroidery techniques.
