We believe in slow fashion and unique handmade quality goods. Our pieces are manufactured sustainable, and in accordance with the local communities.
In one of the most hidden places on earth, in the wide country fields of Tocantins, Brazil, our unique timeless pieces are crafted by hand. What our products are made of is nature's gift: The raw material of our products is Capim Dourado - or Golden Grass. No chemical treatment needed to enhance its impressive color: golden! Only dried in sunlight.
Deusa, which means Goddess in Portuguese intends to remind us of the power, magic and beauty of nature. Therefore, may pieces by DEUSA GOLD let you feel this spirit - by wearing our precious jewellery & accessories or by enjoying our home decor.
Always free shipping in Switzerland.
We believe nature provides us with the most precious gifts. Just waiting to be discovered and appreciated by the conscious customer. That's why we spread the word about the beauty and heritage of pieces made of Capim dourado.
