Alma Mater is a textile studio founded by Samara Henriques, built on the belief that textiles can be beautiful, honest and responsible. Bringing together traditional sewing techniques, handweaving and creative upcycling, the studio transforms carefully selected natural materials and discarded textiles into thoughtful, long-lasting creations.
Working with noble raw materials and giving new life to fabrics that would otherwise go to waste, Alma Mater explores the possibilities of conscious textile production, from handwoven pieces and home décor to upcycled creations and products for feminine care. Each piece is made with intention, combining craftsmanship, creativity and a commitment to more responsible ways of making.
Through its work, Alma Mater celebrates the value of handmade processes, the beauty of materials and the importance of creating things that are made to last.
