The Fundaci\u00f3n Tres Culturas, through the European project INTREPIDA, fosters contact and synergies between businesswomen from Spain and Portugal that allow medium and long term collaborations.<\/p>\n
This is the case of the textile artisan Estela Melo, founder of the firm Ovelha Mae, who collaborates with the Sevillian firm Nunonina, created by Maria Barona and Monica Huang, in the design of shawls and small blankets made of wool felt.<\/p>\n
Quality handcrafted pieces that will be exported to Mexico, where the ABAX architects' studio wants to present these products for the shops of high-end hotels and other exclusive firms.<\/p>\n
