Born in 1985 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and raised in France, Janaïna Milheiro is a designer and textile craftswoman by training. She graduated in textile design from ENSCI Les Ateliers (2010) and from ESAA Duperré in embroidery creation (2007) in Paris. Janaïna Milheiro came across the quill pen by chance at the end of her studies. It was the beauty and magical aura of this material that attracted her. Through experimentation, she discovered its diverse properties and vast creative possibilities. She spontaneously approached it at school through the prism of textiles, seeking to create "feather-textiles". The feather gradually became her trademark, a constant source of inspiration. Her singular approach to the feather is the result of constant work combining technical and graphic research, and collaboration with her team and customers. Over the past 10 years, her quest for excellence and innovation has led to exceptional partnerships with the biggest names in fashion and luxury.
