But Hélène has always been passionate about fashion and feels strongly the desire to create
her own seaside brand. It was during the Covid period that Hélène launched her own brand: Portokalada was
born in 2021. Related to orange drinks, Portokalada is a nod to its Greek origins, a
vitaminized word which makes think of the sun and the summer.
But that's not all. Hélène wanted to base her brand on three axes, which constitute the DNA of
Portokalada: a lingerie size (offer sizes that fit your shape), recycled fabrics
(raw materials from Europe only, including France, Italy and Spain, of very high
quality and from fishing nets and other plastics found in the seas and oceans) and a
reasoned and responsible production (limited series production to avoid overpurchasing).
For the creation, Hélène is in charge of the drawings and the design. She is also
accompanied by an experienced model maker. The models are then manufactured in a workshop in
human size in Tunisia.
Through her collections, Hélène wishes to make us travel; her first collection of swimwear
Bain is dedicated to the Aegean Sea; the second one will be dedicated to the Indian Ocean.
Gradually, Portokalada appears in luxury hotels, including the Royal Champagne in France.
You will be able to find on sale the swimsuits of the first and second collection.
The objective of Hélène and her team today is to develop this aspect and propose several
points of sale, in concept stores, in order to allow customers to touch and try these
splendid creations.
Great news: the second Indian Ocean collection will be available next week!
We hope to see Portokalada very soon in Mauritius!
