Born in interior Brazil in the late 70’s I am the youngest child of a family who values hard work and ethics, my mother was a reference in the pastry business in our city. From an early age I’ve learned by her side the value of dedication, persistence, and teamwork. Since my early adulthood I’ve always been fascinated by the quality and tastefulness of high fashion, however, access was limited so my friends and I unknowingly practiced circular fashion by borrowing and exchanging clothes with one another.

In 1994, I married a rancher from a traditional family and later became a proud mother of two. In 2013, we moved to the United States in search to expand the horizons for our children and experience a different lifestyle. After years devoted to raising my children, I found myself reviving an old passion.. It all began with a simple conversation among friends what if we organized a circular fashion bazaar where women could buy and sell clothes? That idea quickly evolved into something greater, collecting over 1,400 curated pieces, a full week of laughter, and meaningful exchanges between old and new friends.

From that spark, JC Collective was born not just as a business, but as a space for women to share more than just fashion. It’s about exchanging experiences, inspiring one another, and building a supportive and stylish community.

JC is still in its first steps, but we dream big and we grow together. I invite you to join me on this journey. Thank you for being here.
