Paula's vacation in the rainforest began with her spending an entire week immersed in the Anavilhanas National Forest, surrounded by the stunning Rio Negro and the lush bounty of the archipelago. 

This transformative experience inspired her to partner with the Anavilhanas Institute, resulting in a limited-edition collection where proceeds supported this vital cause. While the collection is now out of stock, you can still shop our best-selling evergreen pieces that echo the rainforest’s timeless allure.
