Handmade Tutus Hit the Runway at MAGIC
Family owned and operated Cirkel USA is releasing two new collections at the MAGIC fashion expo in Las Vegas through February 23: The Fashion Collection and The Polka Dot Collection.
Each collection brings to life all the popular colors celebrities are currently wearing – in tutu form. The Fashion Collection features between 20 and 25 vibrant, popular colors, while The Polka Dot Collection features eight. Each of the tutus are customized with accessories such as handmade bows.

“We were simply inspired by our daughter and her love of tutus.”
Founders Fabio and Maria Jose have been making tutus since 2002. Their daughter kept outgrowing her tutus so the two decided to start making their own. With an adjustable waistband, their daughter could keep wearing her favorite tutus for years rather than just a few weeks. That’s when Fabio and Maria decided to start making them for other children as well.
Inspired by their young daughter, the two began the company in Quito, Ecuador. To expand their business, they recently moved it to Florida, which allowed them to produce the two new collections to exhibit at MAGIC. The collections are the result of a collaboration with Belgian stylist Romina Sergi, who created fashionista-based designs for The Fashion Collection, while Fabio and Maria used their tutu expertise to bring the designs alive.
Both collections are on display now at the Cirkel USA booth 74061 at MAGIC. Cirkel is also exhibiting some of their onezies, customized using Swarovski crystals, foil, tulle and other fabrics. Their products prices range from $25 to $50.
