Process
The inception of each garment begins with a deep exploration of form and function. This collection was born from an obsession with the tactile nature of heavyweight raw silk and the challenges of sculpting it into fluid, feminine silhouettes. Every seam is a testament to the hours spent refining the architecture of the piece.
Our artisanal approach means rejecting the frantic pace of the industry. We spent weeks testing natural tanning processes to achieve the perfect depth of hue, ensuring that the environmental footprint of the project remained as light as the fabrics themselves.
Materials
- Hand-loomed raw silk from artisanal cooperatives
- Vegetable-tanned leather accents for structural support
- Recycled copper hardware, hand-beaten for texture
- Eco-conscious organic cotton lining for breathability
