See you soon!
Tschüss! Valeu🤙🏻
Thank you,, for capturing the full contemporary artistic aura of our bag.
Thank you to the artists who shared their vision, to everyone who connected with the work, and to those who continue to support and believe in art as a living force.
Thank you Lais - my partner in crime.
To the collectors, the curious minds, and the ones who stopped, looked, and felt — this was for you.
Here, you’ll see Lua creating 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘. Her figas, hand-painted protective charms, come to life and evolve into 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗹 — a constantly growing artwork.
Born and raised in the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro, Lua’s work is fueled by football, Carnaval, faith, graffiti, and the everyday rhythm of her neighborhood.
In the studio, you witness the full process: preparing the figas, assembling them into pieces, and watching new Street Souls emerge every day. Beyond Street Souls, discover wearable art — hand-painted necklaces, earrings, and bags capturing the vibrant, colorful energy of Rio.
The space slowly transforms into a living installation, pulsing with the colors, rhythms, and spirit of the Rio suburbs. Step in, watch, ask questions, and talk with Lua. And if her work speaks to you, take a piece of the Street Soul universe and A.K.A Tropicalia home.

Here you can watch artist Lua working 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘. She creates protective charms called figas and assembles them into chains made from recycled acrylic. These chains become part of a growing piece called 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗹.
You get to see what normally happens behind the scenes in an artist’s studio.
Lua’s work is deeply connected to her roots in Brazil and the suburban culture of Rio de Janeiro. Football, Carnaval, faith, street art and everyday life in the neighbourhoods where she grew up all influence her work.
You can witness the whole 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀. Preparing the figas, punching and linking the acrylic pieces, and assembling the chains. Every day new Street Soul pieces will take shape inside the atelier.
The space slowly grows into an installation inspired by the streets of Rio, accompanied by music from the neighbourhoods that influence her work.
Walk in, take a look, ask questions and talk with Lua. And if her artwork speaks to you, you can also take a piece home.

Having our creations alongside the work of one of the most iconic and visionary artists of the 20th century is truly a dream come true. As artists and lovers of bold color, symbolism, and expressive form, Miró’s legacy has always been a deep source of inspiration.
To see our wearable art living in a space that celebrates creativity, imagination, and cultural dialogue means the world to us.
Thank you to everyone who believes in this journey — from Rio to Amsterdam to Barcelona, our art continues to travel and connect.
