Francieli Hess
Born in southern Brazil, Francieli Hess has always been passionate about arts, literature and design. This passion led her to find in fashion a way to express creativity beyond words. It was while studying in Italy that she first fell in love with craftsmanship and impeccably tailored silhouettes. Many years later, a trip to India changed her life in a way no one could’ve ever imagined. Amidst the chaotic beauty of the Pink City, she felt home like nowhere else before. The streets crowded with rickshaws, fortune-tellers and artisans guided Francieli into a creative wonderland, where everything seemed to be possible. Then, one day, she woke up with the feeling that the right time had arrived. It was the moment to start building a lifelong dream: a brand that could translate her passion for fashion, art and natural products into clothes designed to survive the test of time. Back in Brazil, she could only think about India and didn’t rest before selling everything to move back to the country that so unexpectedly changed her life. And that’s how Hess was born.
