WHO WE ARE
Mania Brazil is an inclusive plus size women's fashion brand born in São Paulo, Brazil in 1986. Founded by Maria Helena Poiano, we have spent nearly four decades crafting clothing that celebrates curves — because we believe beauty has no size limits.
From the beginning, our founder's vision was clear: every woman deserves fashion that fits beautifully, feels comfortable, and makes her feel powerful. That vision guides every piece we create.
We specialize in plus size women's clothing from size US 12 to 22 (Brazilian sizes 44 to 54), with a focus on impeccable fit, carefully selected fabrics, and designs that honor every body type.
OUR STORY
In 1986, Maria Helena Poiano founded Mania Brazil with a simple but revolutionary belief: that plus size women deserved elegant, modern, and well-fitted clothing — not an afterthought, but a priority.
Over the decades, the brand grew from a local São Paulo boutique into a recognized name in Brazilian plus size fashion, earning the trust of thousands of women who were tired of settling for clothes that didn't fit or didn't celebrate their bodies.
Today, we are bringing that same quality and inclusivity to the international market — to women in the United States, Canada, Europe, and beyond who deserve Brazilian craftsmanship and a brand that truly understands their bodies.
OUR BELIEFS
"Beauty does not follow standards."
We celebrate the power of women in all forms. Our true beauty lies in being authentic — in our thoughts, in the difference we make in the world when we accept who we are. Your strength goes beyond your measurements; it is in the positive impact you create. Remember: you are incredible exactly as you are.
OUR VALUES
• Quality — Every piece is crafted with care, from fabric selection to the final stitch.
• Authenticity — We create clothes that celebrate real bodies, not idealized ones.
• Inclusivity — Fashion is for everyone. Full stop.
• Innovation — We stay current with trends while staying true to our DNA.
• Loyalty — We are more than a brand. We are a friend who walks beside you.
• Family — Our team, our customers, and our community are our family.
OUR SIZING
We offer sizes US 12–22 (BR 44–54 / EU 42–52 / UK 16–26). Our pieces are designed with plus size bodies in mind from the very first sketch — not adapted from straight sizes. The result is a fit that actually works: comfortable, flattering, and made for your curves.
