Fashion Accessories, Pashmina Shawls, Silk Scarves, Wrist Warmers
Exquisite colours, classic creations and sustainable production.
These are the cornerstones that describe my work.
I stitch my collection myself. Dyeing of individual pieces or limited edition I do in my studio.
The shot silk taffeta was woven in South India at my request.
Pashmina shawls were woven in Kathmandu, Nepal according to my design. They reached me offwhite to then be piece dyed by myself.
Digital print on silk georgette is 100 % produced in Italy on Italian silk.
When a producer of fabric presents the creation at the fabric fair he needs woven swatches in the full colour range he offers. This is absolutely necessary since prints on paper would never reflect the full intricacies of the weave. It is an expensive affair! These swatches I bought from a company in Como to then make my collection of one-of-a-kind scarves.
Nowadays this is called upcycling. The term did not exist, when I started to work like that.
