Óla,
I'm Diandra Severo
Thanks for stopping by.
The Severo brand is built on a unique love story that began in my country - Brazil.
As a teenager, I got my very first job as a designer in a shoe factory in my hometown and had the opportunity to learn, and completely fall in love with, the shoemaking process.
Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to work side-by-side with artisans, learning how leather shoes and accessories are made and the skillful work that goes into them.
By 2014, after almost a decade in the industry, I travelled to Australia. What was supposed to be a short trip turned into a mesmerising experience and lead me to call Australia my second home.
After working in Syndey for many leading Australian fashion brands and falling deeper in love with the industry, I boldly made the move to Byron Bay. In what turned out to be the best decision ever, Byron brought me a true sense of belonging and inspired me to fulfill a lifelong dream of starting my own label. I didn’t just want to create beautiful, timeless, high-quality leather shoes. I knew that Severo had to combine my culture, heritage and way of living.
Severo was born
Severo footwear is proudly crafted in Brazil and ethically made in the region I was born. As a brand, we focus on the importance of our social and environmental responsibility, as well as giving back and supporting the community that has taught me so much.
Designed in Byron Bay and made in Brazil, Severo is inspired by the fusion of art, music, culture and lifestyle of both worlds. At Severo, we aim not only to design pieces that people can truly appreciate for years to come, but to share the inspiration, lifestyle, passion and unique beauty of Brazilian culture through well-made, timeless products.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is simple. Along with creating high-quality, timeless and minimalistic pieces, our brand will radiate the unique culture, music and art of Brazil - and especially of the Brazilian people.
Embracing a ‘less is more’ philosophy, Severo creates timeless products that, rather than adding to the ever-growing fast fashion industry, promote a slower, more sustainable way of shopping. That means we invest in high-quality products that only get better with time and are designed to become permanent fixtures in your wardrobe.
Our designs are truly made to last and value the fair treatment of people and the natural environment. At Severo, we deeply care for the people behind our garments and never compromise on our social and environmental responsibility.
