Traditional

The Handwoven Art Wall known as the “Imperfect Circle” is meticulously handcrafted from a combination of Greek recyclable cotton yarn and handmade Greek sheep wool, resulting in a high-quality and eco-friendly product. Its threads bear an international language, and it is woven on a stand loom that simulates the loom of Penelope, a celebrated figure in Greek mythology. The weaving technique used is a fusion of techniques from Peru and Greece, and is characterized by a focus on producing highly durable textiles that can withstand heavy use.

The project “The Interlacement Silkline”consists of high-quality materials such as Greek Souffle Silk and organic cotton in a beautiful shade of purple. The weaving was created using the rest of the silk fabrics produced by silk factory, which would have otherwise ended up as waste. This project serves as an ode to the importance of reusing materials and embracing the flow of recycling. By repurposing the leftover silk fabrics, we were able to create a stunning piece that not only highlights the beauty of sustainable fashion but also serves as a reminder of the importance of reducing waste in our industry.
