The
brand

In my early twenties, I created the first sketches for the brand. I remember buying several fabric remnants with 50 euros and starting to give VILAR AND CO shape. I had just finished university and finally wanted to do what I really enjoyed. With little experience and few resources, I built it up little by little.

Since then I have learned a great deal, but I try not to lose sight of what made me start.

Many of those ideas are still with me and remain part of the foundations of the brand, which over time has developed an identity of its own, independent of mine.

Today, with the help and work of several women, we continue shaping this project so that it keeps evolving.

With our focus on the product and inspiration drawn from our surroundings, we develop almost unique garments, with a language and style of their own, away from trends and with our customers in mind. Years ago, I imagined what they would be like. Now, every so often, I pass one of them on the street.
