How to introduce you to my great friend Patricia?!
For those who do not know, it is the face, energy and soul behind Vintage bazaar, Brand I use for so many years ... I can say that I am one of the “vintage” vb girls;)
Our story is cute. I always bought Vintage Bazaar clothes, liked everything that was. The brand was national and even close to home in Santo Amaro de Oeiras. It was other times, and with another kitchen book coming out and a lot of TV appearances, I decided to risk and contact the brand directly to find out if they could support me. And I can say that there are more than 10 years of a partnership, with much respect, friendship and affection.
What did not count was that I would like the owner so much (and all the wonderful women who are or passed there). Patricia for me is the supreme of inspiration. It is the entrepreneur that I amgan to be and is the one I turn on when I need some help in terms of business. He is a friend who always supported me in the good and bad heights. He has always been by my side and, very honestly, I don't know if I would have been able to overtake some precarious if it weren't for his unconditional friendship.
I love her story. As through her inner strength she got everything she has. You can read more about your route here. If there is a woman with "M" big is undoubtedly my friend Patricia ❤ I hope you enjoy getting to know you better!
