It began with Maria do Rosário,

our grandmother. A Portuguese artisan of quiet strength and boundless generosity. With hands that told stories, she spent her life breathing life into fabric, one stitch at a time. As children, we watched. We listened. We learned. We remember the hum of her Singer sewing machine, the scent of freshly cut textiles, the way she worked with quiet devotion, turning the ordinary into something timeless.

Today,

MMARO is an extension of that legacy. We live in search of forgotten fabrics, lost techniques, and stories waiting to be rediscovered. Textiles that have lived before, crafted by hands that came long before ours.
