The
Janota
label, Janota meaning style,
chique in Portuguese, is the creation of Angela & Edwin Pinto who live
in the beautiful beach state of Goa, India.
Angela has been making clothes since she was 12 yrs. old. Besides some
basic training she is mainly self taught. Initially she made clothes for
herself and her family - gradually her clientele grew. After marriage
she & Edwin - who was trained in pattern making & garment construction -
made all types of garments ranging from Police Uniforms to Bridal Gowns.
Today Angela and her team of 15 girls, who she has trained, design &
produce almost anything in fabric - from lampshades to hats & bags -
from cushions to skirts and dresse.
Edwin strayed away from garments and
started playing around with unconventional footwear. Unhappy with the
shoes available at that time he decided to make his own shoes. He set
out with no formal training in shoe making. With help from some
traditional craftsmen and lots of experimentation he started making
shoes that defied convention. He has made a name for himself and his
fantasy shoes have a special niche in the fashion world.
The bohemian ambience of Goa. The
abundance of nature respledent in its virginity, and the free spirit of
Goans can be seen, experienced and felt in every shoe - A true merger of
free spirit, enterprise and creativity.
