About the brand

Once upon a time, there was an idea. That idea ran for the paper, from the paper to the scissors, from the scissors to the fabric and thus the Amilod Zareg cloth was born.

But for the story to be complete, we must tell that that idea had a friend: Miss Ecology, always concerned with the environment and society’s future.

One day, near the place of Amilod Zareg, the two allies noticed that in mom’s coffer (that had belong to grandmother) had an endless amount of clothes, waiting to be redesigned and reborn in new design pieces with that charming touch that makes all the difference.

Moral of the story: better than wearing something without a past it’s to wear a unique piece of clothing that only you know the history and that share only with whom you want. “Tell me what you wear and I’ll tell you who you are.”

Accept our challenge and come see… to want.

About the designer Marlene Torres

From there until the moment I knew what I wanted to do it took just a little step: in 2005 I finished my studies in Fashion Design in the ESART-IPCB, after experiencing being an Erasmus student in Finland at the Kymenlasko Politecnic, finishing with my curricular and professional internship under the Design+ program on the Centro Português de Design.

After this the real adventure begins and some of my other dreams start to come true: being a teacher, teaching art to the youngsters, having the possibility to do some work as a freelancer for “Mundo de Maria” – custom decor shop also for the youngsters.

One fine day I was strolling down Miguel Bombarda where I knew I would find the ideal concept for the shop that would harbor my fashion creations. And it would be unfair, amongst many, not to refer the main one: Zareca’s Story, which is simply the story of Rosário, godmother of my main story: Amilod Zareg.
