About - Seda e Companhia

Our History

Craftswoman Catarina Tudella has always had a special connection with art, which has been present in her life from an early age. Embroidery was a childhood memory, associated with moments of tranquillity and satisfaction. Around the age of 12, she began to learn traditional techniques from her relatives, cultivating a passion that would accompany her throughout the years.

Although she pursued a career in engineering, embroidery remained a creative refuge. During 15 years in the industry, Catarina found the opportunity to perfect this art in her spare time. In 2014, she discovered a new dimension to her talent in Castelo Branco embroidery, which now occupies a central place in her daily life.

In 2019, he decided to turn this passion into a new path. She left engineering to found Seda & Companhia, where each piece is handcrafted, respecting the traditions that make this art unique. Her work reflects the fusion between ancient and modern, perpetuating a technique that is an essential part of Portuguese culture.
