Claudia Castelao

"It was this legend [of the 'flor pantaneira,' or flower of the swamp] that inspired me to carve flowers from wood."

"I was born in São Paulo, but we moved to Mato Grosso do Sul when I was still a child. This is where I grew up and... formed my family.

"I'm a professional in educational psychology, but I feel a great passion for art and have always enjoyed handicrafts. I wanted to do something that portrayed our local culture and, on a trip to the flooded lowlands of the Pantanal in 2000, I learned the legend of the flor pantaneira, or flower of the swamp.

"Legend tells how the young daughter of a wealthy farmer and a peasant fell in love and carried on a forbidden romance. After everyone had fallen asleep at night, the young man would knock on the girl's window and give her a flower as proof of his love.

"To allow the courtship, the girl's father said the flower must last fresh while he took a trip. The peasant asked the heavens to show him a lasting flower and he found a blossom with the resistance of wood, the softness of a breeze, and that seemed to have been shaped by the waters. He became lost in the woods but the scent of the flower brought him back and finally the enamored couple was able to be together and happy.

"It was this legend that inspired me to carve flowers from wood. At first, I thought it would be simple — I'd just go to a craft shop and buy a blade to make the flowers. Well, it didn't turn out that way. I soon realized that I would have to find a wood that is soft and that I'd have to develop a way to laminate this wood. With the help of my family, we created a gadget to do this.

"As time went by, I was selling my wood flowers when I realized I had to choose between my two passions — education or handicrafts. In 2003, I opted for crafts as a profession."

Claudia has won awards on three occasions and has exhibited her work at the UN headquarters in New York City, in Expo Milan and in Casa Mostra Brasil at the 2012 London Olympic Games.

FINDING YOUR SIZE

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.
