About us

De Freitas Atelier is a research project on memory, our ethereal way of inhabiting the world and the nuance we leave imprinted on things.

Founded in 2025 in Barcelona, De Freitas Atelier is an independent studio focused on handmade knitwear and material experimentation, run by artist and designer Susana F. De Freitas. 

All materials are sourced from local suppliers in Barcelona and Berlin, where part of the work and research takes place. Each piece is carefully developed: Shaping, sewing and finishing in small quantities. No mass production, no outsourcing.

The studio values imperfection as part of the craft and works with a slow rhythm that respects the time each piece requires. This approach results in the creation of an imaginary that only exists within itself, garments and objects that are unique and intertwined with each other.

Collections are released in limited numbers, and many pieces exist as one of a kind ୭ An alternative to fast fashion, and a commitment to thoughtful creation.
