Founded by creative partners and friends, Cristy Mantilla and Duda Teixeira, Éliou draws inspiration from personal style and individualism, celebrating distinctive, one-of-a-kind design. Éliou’s vision is to craft unique, creative pieces that stand out and encourage the wearer to experiment with and personalize their everyday style. Éliou strives to create community that bridges the hands that craft their pieces with the people who wear them. Each design embodies craftsmanship and originality, traveling with its wearer to the places they go and the people they meet. Each collection is born from a desire to honor the warmth and color rooted in the founders' heritage, preserving its spirit through contemporary designs that feel both intentional and emotive.
Production
Éliou collections are created in small batches between Miami and Brazil. The designs brought to life by the hands of artisans, some of whom are the founders' family members.
Ethos
Éliou is handmade and produced in limited quantities, whether due to the craft involved or the availability of unique materials. No two pieces are exactly alike. The brand works directly with family and artisans in Brazil and sources stones, beads, and fabrics from partners around the world, ensuring each creation reflects the people, cultures, and communities that inspire it.
