Behind My True Colours
I'm not new to these wanderings. I created True Colors 5 years ago, when I was pregnant with my youngest son. At the time, as an emigrant in Northern Ireland, I created my first Etsy shop, which I consider to be a success. 1000+ sales, hundreds of 5-star reviews, great experience. However, upon returning to Portugal, I had to start over, create a new store, start from scratch. I hope you like it, stay and share my love for what I do.
Thanks,

Hello there!
I’m not new to this journey.
I created True Colours Handmade in 2013, when I was pregnant with my youngest son. At the time, I was living in Northern Ireland. With a lot of passion, creativity and a little leap of faith, I opened then my very first Etsy shop.
What had started as a small creative project grew into something I was incredibly proud of. Over the years, I made more than 1,000 sales, received hundreds of 5-star reviews, and, most importantly, had the pleasure of creating pieces for wonderful people all over the world.
Then life brought me back to Portugal. Returning home meant starting again: a new country, a new shop, and a new beginning. My previous Etsy shop and all those years of hard work had to stay behind, and I found myself back at zero.
But one thing has never changed: my love for creating beautiful, handmade things.
I hope you’ll enjoy discovering my shop. Every order, every message and every review means a lot to me.
Thank you for being here and for supporting my small handmade business.
With love,
Anabela Lopes
Founder & Maker at True Colours Handmade
