About us
Kia ora, I’m Erika — the heart and hands behind Braziwi.
Born in Brazil, now blooming in Aotearoa, I created this fabric studio to celebrate colour, comfort, and the simple joy of beautiful surroundings.
Braziwi is more than just a blend of Brazil and Kiwi — it’s a feeling.
A laid-back, joy-filled way of living where every stitch carries a story.
From reupholstered heirlooms to bean bags and squabs that light up a sunny deck, I’ve helped clients turn their houses into soulful homes — one custom piece at a time.
My inspiration comes from:
– Brazilian prints
– Nature’s palettes
– And the freedom of creating something truly personal
💚 Every project is made with care, honesty, and the belief that fabric can transform a space — and lift a spirit.
Thank you for being here.
Whether you’re a returning client or just browsing, welcome to Braziwi —
where creativity and comfort go hand in hand.
Would you like to explore fabric options, work together, or just say hi?
Get in touch anytime — I’m only a message away.
