About

AVILLA is a slow living brand founded by artist Michelle Léana Perez, offering handcrafted jewelry, natural fiber vintage, and curated treasures that honor the natural world. Rooted in a philosophy of slowness, connection, and poetic living, each piece is made or selected with deep care—celebrating imperfection, storytelling, and the sensory richness of everyday life. Inspired by ancestral craft, the natural world, and organic materials, AVILLA invites people to wear beauty with meaning and live in tune with nature’s rhythms. From the intimacy of handmade jewelry to the character of timeworn textiles, AVILLA offers tangible reminders to sense fully, and live slowly.

Founding Story

AVILLA was founded in 2012 by artist Michelle Léana Perez after she fell in love with the ancient art of metalwork. Over the years, Michelle evolved AVILLA to encompass not only her coveted handcrafted jewelry but also a curation of poetic goods for a sustainable, natural wardrobe and home. She draws inspiration from the inspired living of her Spanish and New Orleans roots, her current home of Los Angeles, and her travels around the world. Her intention is always to create and curate beautiful objects of quality that bring art and connection to the everyday.
