“Re-Mentality” UpCycling: As enthusiasts of circular economy and pro optimal uses of resources, we use resources optimally. We repair defective scarves and when this is not possible, we transform them into something new such as dresses or kimonos [we have zero silk waste and we absorb 100% of the cost]. In collaboration with a traditional bookbinding company, we have produced one-of-a-kind limited edition Notebooks and Calendars “dressed” in our silky creations. Grab yours now!
Greece has been a timeless and endless source of inspiration for artists. The designer inspired by the Greek sea, sunlight and poetry to combine all these and visualized a love poem by Odysseas Elytis “Of the Aegean I”.
