My passion is to craft objects with found fabric of today and yesterday.

I am Vania Alves
Lavaimaria is the brand I created ten years ago

but

since I was little
I have always carried with me a bag of fabric scraps and needle and thread
and one or two dolls
then the bag became a box
the box became a small room
which became an apartment
that turned into a store
and then it went back to being a room
that became two boxes
which filled the two suitcases
that brought me to NY

and that is not the end
because lavaimaria is endless!
