Drawing inspiration from an idyllic eternal summer, creative partners and best friends, Cristy Mantilla and Duda Teixeira, éliou is a celebration of the handmade. The former art directors’ jewelry, clothing, and special edition collaborations are articulations of where their personal styles overlap and diverge. The vision of éliou is to create handmade, artisanal pieces that tell a story and encourage the wearer to experiment with their own everyday personal style.
