32 years
ago Kathy Moça never thought she would be wearing Brazilian
jeans, much less traveling twice a year to Brazil to
manufacture her own line of jeans. Kathy's story started in
South Carolina where she met her husband, a Brazilian
student studying at USC. After falling in love and getting
married, she moved away from her family to Brazil , had a
child, and then came home to South Carolina to help run her
mother's dress shop.
With over 20 years of retail experience she became
interested in the wholesale side of the fashion industry.
After representing multiple apparel lines she decided to
combine her love of brazil with her love of fashion and
began importing her own line of jeans from Brazil.

Founders Kathy Moca & Emilie Moca Whitaker |

Soon after, her daughter Emilie Whitaker
joined her in the family business. Together they developed
the brand Beija-Flor, inspired by Emilie's childhood
memories of the beautiful hummingbird museum in her father's
home state.
Portuguese for hummingbird, Beija-Flor literally means “kiss
the flower”. Now Kathy and her daughter travel to Brazil
discovering new designs and inspirations for their line of
jeans.
These Brazilian designer jeans are made to fit the natural
curves of a woman's body for a modern yet feminine appeal.
Just like the music and culture of Brazil, Beija-Flor means
quality, personality, individuality, soul, energy, motion
and a taste of the modern world. We invite you to experience
the beauty of the “Beija-Flor”! |
