What the brand offers
Our label offers garments for ladies of all ages and for all occasions - sleepwear, daywear, occasion wear, bridal wear and head wear. We offer also loungewear and sleepwear for gentlemen.
What materials we use
We use only materials made of natural fibers and delicate laces:
Organic cotton with GOTS certificate (Global Organic Textile Standard) - this is our main material. We use woven batiste, mull-mull, cambric and flannel as well as organic cotton jersey.
Cotton with OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certificate. It means, that materials were tested and do not contain any chemical dangerous to health.
100% silk. We love to work with silk for their properties. Silk is a hypoallergenic material and it also helps to regulate temperature of human body when worn and human skin can breathe easily.
Silk cotton blend, silk linen blend and silk wool blend. Here you can benefit from the properties of all fibres in composition.
Laces. We have got 4 types of stretch galloon lace for our sleepwear range and they were up-cycled. We bought them off from closed down factories in England and Germany. We also use fine Chanitlly laces, French laces, corded laces and tulle for our occasionwear and bridal collection.
How we make our clothes
Our collections are hand-made in Slovakia in family atelier. Patterns are created in a way to reduce fabric waste to minimum. All fabric cut-offs are used to make lavender bags, silk flowers and appliqué for some styles in our collections. The remaining cut-offs are donated to art and craft schools and retirement homes and organizations in Piestany (Slovakia) and Bratislava (Slovakia) to support their art and craft projects. We also support senior citizen organization JDS ZO Luka and Tematin Castle with donating material for their products and souvenirs.
All our collections are created with love and integrity. We would like you to feel amazing, fabulous and relaxed when wearing our clothes no matter whether you are dreaming, running after shops, walking down the aisle or you are on the way to conquer the world.
What makes us different to the rest
High quality of materials - we choose carefully our materials as well as suppliers. Some of our suppliers do business with us already for a few decades. We work solely with natural fibers that are better choice not only for the end customer but also for the environment.
High quality of patters and cuts - we prefer timeless silhouettes that don’t go out of fashion so easily and our patterns reflect time long experience with garment development for real women.
High quality of workmanship - it matters to us how all our products are finished. You can see the craftsmanship in our tiny rolled hems, French seams and finishing of armholes and necklines. Every piece is made to high standards and when finished it has to pass our quality inspection.
