Our Story

A Family Atelier in Athens

In the early 1990s, Antonia learned traditional embroidery from older women in the Peloponnese countryside. What began as a craft passed between generations became a lifelong dedication. In 1995, she opened a workshop and store in Athens, where she has been creating and curating handmade textiles ever since.

Today, the atelier at Michail Koraka 35 serves as both a working atelier and a destination for collectors and textile enthusiasts worldwide.

"Embroidery is psychotherapy with creativity. It expresses the soul of the artisan."
