Beautiful pieces - their materials and craftsmanship - always catch my eye. My grandmother was the first to teach me about style. After she passed, I was amazed by the quality of what she left behind - timeless pieces, still in impeccable condition. It was an unspoken lesson: true style isn’t about accumulating more, but about choosing well and knowing what reflects your personality.

Despite my love for craftsmanship, I pursued law, believing it was the right path - until I realised it wasn’t me. A creative life was calling, and I became a buyer for a luxury department store. What first felt like a dream - curating beautiful pieces and exploring craftsmanship - became a turning point. I saw an industry built on excess and overproduction, one not yet ready for change.

Hunting for pre-owned treasures has always been a joy - the thrill of finding a unique piece that feels meant for you. But after watching The True Cost of Fashion, that joy took on new meaning. Passion became purpose, aligning what I love with what I stand for.

After Amsterdam, my journey took me through Paris, London, and Berlin - each place bringing me closer to my true self. But it was Lisbon that finally felt like home. There’s a natural rhythm here - one of slowness, appreciation, and presence.

This is where sophia’s selection came to life - a curated collection of pre-owned pieces from renowned designers and niche brands, chosen for their craftsmanship, design, and timeless style. Each piece deserves to be worn and seen again. Beyond my showroom, I source pieces for a select group of clients, helping them find what reflects their personality and evolving style.

A dream come true.
