Abaete - skirts...

Abaete (pronounced ah-BYE'-ah-tay) is the family name of designer/founder Laura Poretzky, and translates roughly to "person of virtue". The logo is the original Portugese family crest, dating back to the 1700's, which means every garment is a labor of love and family pride. Abaete is renowned for the highest quality fit, fabric and craftsmanship, which Laura herself oversees at our local production facility. Laura has now extended her range to create a complete line of ready-to-wear -- drawing as much on her experience as a New Yorker as on her Latina and Eurasian roots. Her sophisticated, feminine designs have captured the imagination of stylists and editors alike, while her years of experience with fabric and construction ensure a perfect fit, every time.
