Unveiled during the visit, the The First Thread – Autumn/Winter 2026 collection symbolically marks the beginning of the countdown to Riopele’s centenary. Inspired by the company’s origins, this collection pays tribute to its textile heritage through a contemporary lens, structured around four key themes – Raízes, Saber, Essência, and Saudade – representing memory, craftsmanship, material purity, and emotion as central elements of the creative process. A proposal that blends tradition, innovation, and sophistication, reflecting Riopele’s journey and forward-looking vision.
