Most garments sold are made by hand in the atelier using traditional craft techniques or combining emerging, low impact printing technology on natural fibers. Every piece is intentioned as an heirloom – meant to be worn, lived in, danced in, stained, passed on to the next generation, and mended or shifted into something new after years and years of use.

 

Pieces are also designed with comfort and versatility in mind, adaptable through its modular capabilities and combinable with existing pieces from your closet. Unique, yet functional!

​

Some garments are designed using high quality silk and cotton combined with diverse printing and natural dyeing techniques. Others are upcycled from curated, previously existing pieces, honoring its past lifetime, transformed for the next.
