Vivi Rufino could not afford new clothes at college, took her sketches to her aunt’s sewing machine, and grew Freedom Ecowear into a beachwear label that now ships to over 30 countries, run with her partner David. I spent two days at Sol Luna Atelier with the two of them, and this is Vivi’s origin story in her own words.
