Hello everyone. We are Renata and José, the founders of Uwalo project, a blend of Portuguese and African culture. Renata is a highly skilled Portuguese artist, capable of inspiring even the most skeptical with her works, and José is an entrepreneur with background in Management.

Both are fascinated by the beautiful and old Portuguese heritage, which inspired one of the first brand collections. But they also felt in love by the many stories that José's father told them about his homeland, Angola: the contagious joy of the people, the warmth, the music, the food, the scents, the nature, the vibrant sun, the traditional clothing, among many other things. As you might expect, Renata began drawing artistic creations from many of these elements. Until... the idea emerged to bring them to life in clothing pieces, so that more people could integrate these elements into their everyday lives. That’s how Uwalo was born!
