Raised embroidery
padded satin stitchPetals are padded, then covered stitch by stitch, so each rose stands slightly above the cloth and catches the light as you move.
Autumn — Winter · new arrivals
worked by hand, slowly
Heritage fashion from family studios and village workshops across Romania and Eastern Europe, chosen piece by piece for the way it is made.
There is something quiet in the way an image rises from thread. First a length of linen and a skein of wool. Then a stitch, a second, a third — and slowly the cloth begins to tell its story.

Autumn — Winter, chosen this season
Three techniques you will meet across the shop. Each one is slow by nature, and each one leaves the trace of the hand that made it.
Petals are padded, then covered stitch by stitch, so each rose stands slightly above the cloth and catches the light as you move.
Motifs are outlined in buttonhole stitch, then the ground between them is cut away, leaving lace held only by thread.
Small eyelets are pierced and bound by hand around a scalloped edge, tone on tone, a quiet pattern made of light and shadow.
Fragments of heritage
The season opens with merino, cashmere and felted wool, worked with the roses and tulips that have travelled through Carpathian embroidery for generations.
Each studio in the edit is small and family-run. We visit, we ask how a piece is made, and we keep only what is made to be kept.

DESIGNER FILE
Embroidered pattern is a cultural talisman, a carrier of ancestral memory. Every piece requires an average of 6,000 meters of thread and several weeks of hand embroidery, using traditional techniques including "pykhlyky," "zbyranky," tassels, and decorative seams.
