Covadonga SARL
With the technical innovation on fabrics, I have created my eponymous brand : COVADONGA SARL.
From 1996 til 2001, COVADONGA SARL is developed and distributed at La Botica I, in the XIème arrondissement in Paris.
Based on inserting plastic pieces on clothes, an art and decoration object, my brand has been distributed in several feeling points in France and abroad.
As part of the COVADONGA SARL development , I had the opportunity to participate in various prêt-à-porter trade fair, such as Whos Next, Première Classe and Workshop.

History
COVADONGA SARL was born after my designs collection for my final school project at LISAA. Collection inspired by Middle Ages, I developed a plastics adaptation system on fabrics that had a great success. This innovation led me to create my own clothing brand and company, COVADONGA SARL., allowing me to produce and distribute my products.
The COVADONGA SARL creation led me to develop La Botica, facilitating my brand hightlight and distribution.
