Sustainable vision and advantage of the brand is the careful selection of fabrics, which not only brings durability, but also the highest quality, some of them also have an eco-label. The reuse of unused textiles from the so-called “stock” in cooperation with major textile companies is also a brand idea.

ALMA, CULTURAL LEGACY IN MODERN FASHION DRESS:
Drawing inspiration from the cultural legacy of Alma Karlin, a renowned figure in Slovenian heritage, this project imbues a contemporary narrative. By seamlessly intertwining tradition and innovation through meticulous craftsmanship and design, the initiative aspires to offer a novel and enriching experience for textile and fashion consumers. The overarching objective is to bring this avant-garde textile project to market, establishing a direct and discerning connection between artistic, fashionable pieces, and a discerning clientele.
