Based in Portugal

Founded in 2021, Project 213A is a European design studio created by Jurgita Dileviciute, Theresa Marx, and Clement Deboeuf. The name of the brand “Project 213A” refers to a London based address where they each have lived in - at different times throughout their studies. Jurgita and Theresa pursued Footwear and Fashion Design at the University of the Arts London, while Clement earned a finance degree from Ines Paris. After several years of working in their professional fields, the global lockdown in 2020 presented the founders with the opportunity to work together and found Project 213A. The brand is committed to traditional craftsmanship and timeless design. Every piece is handcrafted in their in-house ceramic and wood workshops, with the expertise of artisans from Northern Portugal. To honor this rich heritage, many collections are named after Portuguese cities and regions, blending cultural influences into the design narrative.

Sustainability lies at the core of Project 213A’s approach. The brand takes responsibility for its operations and considers the impact of its choices on people and the environment. By fostering long-term partnerships with manufacturers and local craftsmen, Project 213A promotes transparency and ethical practices. Designed with longevity, durability, and timelessness in mind, the brand strives to reduce its carbon footprint by sourcing local materials and ensuring the health and safety of its craftspeople.
