By wearing or gifting an Entwine, or other Cor Madeira accessory with the signature screw detail, you are spreading the philosophy of togetherness. Our unique adornments are not only fashion statements but social statements as well. Remind on-lookers that we are ONE RACE, with more similarities than differences. We are all braided together with similar materials...
Background ::
Cor Madeira was launched as a solo endeaver, originally braided by the hands of Danielle Nicole. For over a decade, her medium of expression has been paint, but a recent project in textile painting while living in Brazil, has called her to fashion.
Danielle was painting scarves inspired by the colors of the northeast of Brazil, wrapping real life women with the patterns in her paintings at the time. In her search to add more texture to the painted adornments, she created a braided component. This soon after, lead to her design of the Entwine, organically becoming Cor Madeira’s signature accessory.
After the Entwine’s rapid success on the beaches of Brazil, Danielle decided to expand the line, and bring it to Los Angeles. Danielle, then, quickly teamed up Los Angeles based designer, Lisette Solis, to create and expand on what they now call Cor Madeira’s ‘eco-chic’ lifestyle. Together they are firmly rooting the company’s philosophy in sustainability and quality design.
With current collaborations in Los Angeles, Brazil and Chile, the goal is to create a network of artisans abroad who sustain the craft of their indigenous artisanal traditions including, South America, South-east Asia, and Africa. The brass screw is a signature mark detailing every piece of Cor Madeira product. It is symbolic of the company’s foundation, rooted in the construction of a sustainable, eco-chic planet.
Philosophy ::
Cor Madeira's signature collection, Entwine, aims to create a social awareness that evokes a philosophy inspired by Mexican philosopher, Jose Vasconcelos. He believed that cultures are intermingling and becoming a 'new human type', even possibly soon to be one race. In the braiding of different up-cycled materials coming from different regions of the world, We showcase our Entwine as a campaign in support of his theory. The screw detail signing every Cor Madeira piece, is to remind us of our connectedness to one another, together constructing one race.
“…the distinct races of the world tend to mix more and more until they form a new human type composed of a selection from each of existent lands”
In “Vasoncelos of Mexico.” John H. Haddox cites Vasconcelos’ theory of the mingled race in the preface of “La Raza Cosmica,(qtd. Vasconcelos 53).
What we need (the specifics)...
The $10,000 breakdown
20% to incorportate as an LLC. and complete licensing and trademarks
15% to do Couer trade show for Fall 2014 (this takes place in february/march 2014)
15% to expand our marketing campaign through brand exposure (packaging, collateral material, photoshoots)
20% to buy needed tools for the workshop (carpentry and metalsmithing)
5% to broaden our network of designers, creating an artists collective to strengthen the CM platform
25% to expand production by finding helping hands abroad who are already trained in their indigenous artisanal traditions.
0% to spread the philosophy of UNITY
Why we need it...
They said be transparent, so here we go...
Cor Madeira is a dream of ours... but more than just a dream, we believe it's mission. We truly believe in the social impact this accessory line can have. But we sincerely need your help to make it happen.
Between the two of us, we have a lot of very valuable skills that can take this company far with low overhead cost.
Half of the story ::
Lisette has over 10 years experience as an apparel/accessory designer and stylist. She knows her materials and has 75% of the tools to create with them. (hopefully after reaching our goal, we can gather the other 25)
With the relationships she has made over the years in the fashion industry, she has collected a powerful group of friends and fashionistas willing to help her in her dream..... And although her huge artillery of skills are available for trade (from metal-smithing to styling to photography) there only so many favors you can ask. Right?
Well, since Lisette was already seasoned in fashion design, she decided to go back to school and strengthen her foundation with a marketing degree. Sounds great right!? Well, it will be... The problem she is JUST finishing her return to school.
What does that mean? STARVING STUDENT!!... and more hungry than ever. This is where you guys come in :)
The other half ::
Danielle also has over 10 experience as an fine artist/designer. She attended OTIS College of Art and Design before she decided to travel to Brazil the first time and volunteer her time teaching art to children. She has on-going project called Universal Pigment, that donates art supplies to existing children's programs abroad. Her desire is strong to make a social impact for the better.
Danielle has also had the fortunate opportunity to oversee production for an American based jewelry company in Brazil, who uphold some of the same standards in sustainability and fair trade that CM hold. These connections and experience are a priceless piece of the Cor Madeira Puzzle as well.
Danielle is formally trained as a painter but has been working as a graphic artist for the past two years. She is currently juggling her time between freelance assignments and Cor Madeira.
What does this mean? STARVING ARTIST!!... and more hungry than ever. THIS IS WHERE YOU GUYS COME IN :) :)
WE NEED YOUR HELP!!
We wouldn't be asking if we didn't sincerely need help. We whole-heartedly believe in the social change we can all create in the wearing of these accessories. But it is going to take many of us together, and build.
