Port de Bras<\/h2>\n

When Clarissa Ega\u00f1a became pregnant, she started to pay attention to sustainability. She had previously overseen a swimwear brand, Bamboo Mare, but wanted to create something that was safe for people\u2019s health and the planet. That\u2019s how Port de Bras, an ethical athleisure line, was born.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that overall health has to do with physical and spiritual alignment,\u201d says Ega\u00f1a, the founder and designer of Port de Bras. \u201cDressing is part of our everyday choices and being conscious about these things makes us be in the now and in unison with the world. Choosing clothing that is ethical, toxin-free, eco-friendly and positively impacting society will definitely empower you to keep making better choices altogether.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though Ega\u00f1a had been living and working in the U.S. for over 10 years, she decided to return to her native Caracas, Venezuela, to launch Port de Bras. \u201cI fell in love with the process of helping so many people who needed it very badly and we finally moved to set up our own atelier and change our team\u2019s lives in the process,\u201d she says.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cPort de Bras is\u00a0sustainable\u00a0<\/a>in many ways beside the fact that the product is very high quality, eco-friendly and adds to a smart, timeless closet that allows you to reduce your shopping needs. We aim not to create less negative impact, but to create more positive impact. That means employing where it is most needed and financing sewing machines for a team of women instead of paying low wages to use your own machinery; donating your scraps so other women can make doll clothes, bows and other things they can sell and make money; supporting local charities; donating face masks during a pandemic; teaching a trade; making people feel safe and valued; and creating a sense of belonging and security inyour industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Port de Bras exclusively works with nontoxic fabrics, specifically biodegradable polyamide, which is a new technology. \u201cWe chose this because we focus on bringing the opposite of what big brands offer\u2014a real, well-thought, transparent and sustainable option women can actually relate to,\u201d Ega\u00f1a says. The brand has a zero-waste policy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The clothes are designed to be worn both in and out of the gym. \u201cI like our pieces to be feminine and flattering but I also design very relaxed and oversized pieces to style them with, which is something to do with the classic rehearsal ballerina style,\u201d Ega\u00f1a says. The line\u2019s name comes from the French ballet term for the movement of the arms. \u201cI found it to be feminine and timeless like the brand I envisioned and also meaningful as we aim to become a movement in fashion!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to see Port de Bras continue to grow organically among the community that choses it over big brands because of what it stands for. That\u2019s the biggest goal, to keep connecting to conscious minds and impact those who make everyday choices, to make better ones day by day.\u201d\u00a0portdebras.com\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
