Apart from price, what makes you stand out as a luxury brand? First of all, the price is defined according to the product, so automatically every name has a direct link with the product and not with the price. Therefore, the quality of the product, the production specifications, the human factor (who produces) and how it is produced determines the price and, consequently that price determines the designation “LUXURY”. How would you say your style has evolved since you started? We started with a dream and halfway down we found out that there should be a balance between dream and reality. That is to say, we should always believe in our dreams just as we should respect the dreams of those who consume our products. Our goal is to be a complete brand and to be able to compete and lead in any global market, therefore it is our duty to offer a complete range of products to the consumer.

First, learn to know the end consumer; accept and respect the opinions of others; discover our DNA; set goals and objectives; work and achieve. How would you describe the Taibo Bacar client? Intelligent, Versatile, confident, determined and lover of simplicity. The TB woman is a common mortal with dreams and ambitions whose goal is to be and to make happy. We hear that they were the inspiration behind your current collection Bacar´s Diary is a collection inspired by the Taibo Bacar woman. A woman who does not let herself be dressed by the clothes but instead dresses the clothes, Bacar´s Diary is a collection which aims to show to the world the woman that exists inside the soul of the TB creator, a woman who can be a Brazilian living in NY, a Japanese living in Bali, an Australian living in Gaborone or even a Mozambican living in London… anyway a woman from the world to the world. www.tdsblog.com/TaiboBacar  |  13
