"kombi" The mobile shop that made Adriana's dreams come true

Learn more about this unique mobile shop from Brazil!

Kombi was born from the dream to have a traveling store. I never had any craftsmanship skills, but I have always been passionate about crafts. At that time, I was very well employed as a manager in human resources and did not see how I could possibly give up everything to start a new business.

However, after my grandmother passed away, I decided to learn to sew because my grandmother loved to sew. I had to find someone that could teach me from scratch because I had no idea where to start. Sewing on my first button was a major victory for me. Then, my husband, who was very committed to making my dream come true, found a van (kombi) and we began transforming it into the mobile shop that it is today.
