OUR 3 PILLARS
Production
1
Creation of employment and generation of income.
We provide opportunities to create products in consultation with our designers, to develop, perfect and manufacture these products to the highest standards, for sale on the national and international market.
2
Information
We promote knowledge of fashion, culture and the arts by arranging exchanges, meetings and seminars, hosted at our atelier, where established professionals offer advice, mentoring and work opportunities. We put artisans face to face with the market.
3
Co-operation and Registration
We stimulate and strengthen economic and social co-operation in the favela, by encouraging the development of professional associations that promote citizenship.
We are constantly searching for talented people in low income communities. We encourage their professional development, to develop products that draw on their unique inspiration and ensure that they are finished to the highest standards. Our collections draw on the individual expertise of each of our designers. This interaction provides them with a point of entry in the market, where we publicise and sell their products.
Investing in Human Capital is the best way to reduce social inequality.
There are hundreds of training courses in Rio de Janeiro, but only a small minority of the people that pass through them are able to market their skills effectively.
What’s missing? The final step.
Training is not enough. In order to succeed, artisans must become professionals, with an eye for the market and the experience to respond to its demands. This is easier said than done. People who live in the favela don’t have the social capital they need to gain entry. It can be hard to find opportunities for even the most dedicated entrepreneurs.
For these people, no matter how talented, the market is tantalisingly out of reach - hard to enter and even harder to remain in long term. Even when they are well-trained, its difficult for them to show their work to the people who matter, in the city.
ETHICAL FASHION
Pipa Social’s clothes and accessories are ethical fashion items. By that we mean that they are produced in a manner that respects people and the environment, and that draws on the wisdom and culture of Rio de Janeiro’s favelas for inspiration. By buying a Pipa Social product, you are promoting the professional development of artists, artisans and seamstresses. Help us launch another kite into the air!
COMMISSIONS
We accept commissions for corporate projects, decorative displays, home furnishing, shop windows etc. Our team is ready to create and manufacture a diverse range of personalised products, tailored to your unique requirements.
