Our story
Handweaving is more than a craft—it is a meditative practice, a quiet dialogue between hands, heart, and the natural world. Each thread passed through the loom is an act of presence, grounding the weaver in the rhythm of creation.

Sustainability
By creating handwoven pieces, we step away from mass production and toward a more thoughtful, responsible way of living—one that honours natural materials, embraces slow design, and reduces environmental impact through recyclable and biodegradable packaging.
Following principles of slow fashion, we value the time-honoured traditions of weaving, celebrating craftsmanship and the human touch in every thread.

By making handwoven textiles, we embrace a more thoughtful way of living—one that respects nature, honours the hands that create, and fosters a deeper connection to the materials we wear and use.
Each woven piece reflects the care and skill of the artisans behind it, the natural fibers that bring it to life, and the cultural traditions that continue to shape how we create. It’s craftsmanship with purpose—made to last, made to matter."
Materials
The use of natural materials provides an organic, textural feel to every product we create, inviting nature into your home. We carefully select cotton, linen, and wool for their inherent beauty, durability, and timeless character.
Each fiber brings its own unique qualities—cotton for its softness and breathability, linen for its elegant texture and strength, and wool for its warmth and resilience. Together, they form the foundation of our collections, grounding each piece in authenticity and the calming essence of the natural world.
Rooted in the belief that humans thrive when surrounded by nature, biophilic design inspires us to create products that bring organic warmth, texture, and tranquility into interior spaces.
Biophilic design
We draw design inspiration from Istria’s landscapes: the rhythm of olive trees in the wind, the textures of coastal stone, the earthy palette of inland hills, and the ever-changing blues of the Adriatic Sea. These elements appear in subtle, intuitive forms—woven patterns, muted tones, natural irregularities—reminding us of nature’s quiet intelligence.
Through biophilic design, we aim not only to create beautiful textiles, but to invite the outside world in—to make a home feel alive, connected, and calming.
