About Me

A little about me...

For as long as I can remember, fashion has always been a part of my life. When I was a child, while other girls were playing with their dolls, I loved to modify their clothes to make them stand out.
My passion for sewing came early on, and fashion became my most cherished dream. However, life had different plans for me.

I became a mother for the first time in 1993, at the age of 15. Circumstances led me to emigrate to Switzerland in search of better opportunities. In 1996, I became a mother.
again, and I remained in Switzerland until 2003. These were years of hard work and personal growth.

In 2003, I returned to Portugal and immersed myself in the business world, developing my career as an entrepreneur in several areas. But it was in 2007, when I emigrated to
Angola, where I began to see that my childhood dream could become reality.

The loss of my father and the birth of my third daughter in 2012 were defining moments.

I felt that the time had come to take a risk and dedicate myself fully to what I was truly passionate about. So, in 2015, while still in Angola, I took a leap of faith and created Elisabeth Moments.
This brand symbolizes all the moments of effort, overcoming and also the joys that I have experienced — it is the materialization of my journey and the learning that has shaped me.
and that brought me here.

In 2016, I returned to Portugal and officially launched the brand Elisabeth Moments. I started my business by opening my studio in Fafe (Braga) and, in 2017, I held my first modeling show in Porto. Since then, I have had the privilege of helping dozens of women feel good about their bodies and the clothes they wear. I believe that fashion is a powerful tool for empowerment, and it is rewarding to see confidence blossom in each client.

Each collection I create tells a story, inspired by characters that mark lives — many lives.

Great projects are born from great dreams, and this is my great dream. I continue to be dedicated to creating pieces that not only dress, but that tell stories and enhance
the unique beauty of every woman.

With love,

Elisabete Martins
