From cramming as many sewing machines as possible into my spare bedroom & selling my very first pair of French knickers at a local market in December 2013, to moving into our first studio & hiring our first employees in 2020 (handmade business & job creation!? Love that for us), Desvalido is ... once again just me, working out of a private studio on the Central Coast of NSW Australia

Lol it's literally just me how depressing just kidding I'm fine! I miss having a team, I hope nobody reads this, anyway, I'm a Leo born in '93 so I've just turned 32 & so far owning a saltwater fish tank & a lingerie business are the only life goals I'm achieving. I have a cat named Maxy, I like old cars, silly art, eating food, The Sims (with mods, IYKYK!), colours, 70's furniture specifically the conversation pit, & the Kola Superdeep Borehole. OH I also like making butts look* incredible. I think that's my purpose** in life.
Started sewing age 16, never stopped. It's my whole personality. I am not sorry. I don't Desvalido full time anymore, I only Desvalido for fun/for love/when there's time. I guess this is growin' up?
Sometimes I get in trouble for not acting professional but the good news is the quality of my work is professional, so you can yell & scream all you want xo
