About us

The word fulô is North-Eastern Brazilian dialect for the Portuguese word flor, which means "flower", and de pano means "made of textile".

O Nordeste, the warm North-East of Brazil is also the home land of the founders of Fulô de pano.

They arrived in the Dutch climate, which is very different from what they were used to, much colder, but very favourable for the countless flowers that come up each spring in all their beauty and glory. When these Nordestinas decided to start creating lively coloured bags, They named their initiative Fulô de pano as a tribute to this flowery country.

Fulô de pano is a tulip with five petals; Kaly, Leuda, creativity, spontaneity and diligence. Two of the petals, being Kaly and Leuda, came from the North-East of Brazil to cultivate a new garden here in Holland.

Kaly is 37 years old, married and her passion is sewing. A passion that she developed independently. She tried to create the things she saw or invented, and many times she succeeded. Her first creation was her own wedding dress, after that she got new ideas like creating skirts, dresses, shirts, etc. She loves to develop her creativity and create things with her own hands. With her creativity and skills she contributes to the development of Fulô de pano.

Leuda is an energetic woman of 53 years old, married and loves children. This is her great passion and the reason that she had worked for a long time as a pedagogue. She loves handicrafts of which she made her hobby. Leuda is a perfectionist and has an eye for details.

Both girls take care that the products of Fulô de pano comply to the required quality. Both keep up with the latest fashion and apply this with the creation of the bags and the accessories.

Kaly and Leuda know each other from the time of the integration course in Amsterdam, when they became great friends.
