Meet the founder
Hello I’m Sara Ventura, a Bag Designer and Entrepreneur from Lisbon, Portugal.
Since childhood, I saw my grandmother tailoring clothes for women, which aroused my desire to create clothes for myself. Also, my mother was a textile teacher who taught me about raw materials, yarn and weaving. Here was the genetic seed that intuitively, years after, led me to specialize in the design of fashion accessories.
At some point, my “always-on-the-move” lifestyle made me rethink the ongoing needs of carrying everyday objects across various contexts and occasions throughout the day. The result was a highly flexible backpack that transforms into a shoulder bag.
In 2017, I founded BirdWalk with the intention of exploring innovative solutions to transport everyday objects. Also with 3 fundamentals in mind: local production, top quality materials and sustainability. Craft over mass manufacturing, preserving quality over quantity in order to design a better future. Therefore, I take an active role investing in the Portuguese textile industry by selecting materials and production partners at a local level.
With dedication and creativity, BirdWalk formed a small (yet amazing) team and established itself as an independent brand based on partnerships that genuinely share the same values as us.
