Veva

Inspired by the extraordinary life of Genoveva de Lima Mayer Ulrich, VEVA celebrates a woman who defied every expectation of 20th‑century Portugal. Known for her bold personality—walking a leopard through 1920s Lisbon, hosting lavish soirées, traveling the world solo, and moving effortlessly among European aristocracy—she embodied a rare blend of intellect, independence, and audacity. A novelist, playwright, diplomat’s wife, and outspoken critic of Salazar, her modernist spirit lives on in this collection. Aldeco has transformed her stories into richly woven patterns that honor a cultural legacy designed to endure, offering fabrics that feel as fearless and unforgettable as VEVA herself.
