One full week immersed in natural dyes, textile experimentation, colour, plants, conversations and slow making 🌼
A week with .works, watching her explore eco printing, bundle dyeing, Shibori, natural dyeing and all the textile processes I use. Day by day her confidence grew through making, and I loved seeing her experiment and create.
The immersive natural dyeing course is designed for people who want to deeply dive into the world of natural dyeing and textiles in a personal and hands on way. Whether you are a beginner, an artist, a designer, or simply curious about slow crafts and sustainable textiles, the course is fully adapted to each persons interests and pace.
A week experimenting, learning techniques, working with natural materials, and creating unique textile pieces together in my natural dye studio in Athens.
If you’d like to join a future intensive course, send me a message 🌺

Spring 🌺
My favourite time of the year, when I finally wear summer clothes and sandals and run around Greece for workshops 🌼
A series of photos and videos of the last few weeks. Long walks with Ito in Porto Rafti, bundle dyeing at the studio, at , at and at new showroom. 🌸
Experimenting with new metals for more natural dye colours 👩🏼‍🔬🧪
Completing wholesale orders for shops on islands and shops in Athens - SS26 has been one of the most colourful ones ✨
Talking in front of a big crowd before a documentary screening (I’m writing a blog post about this - coming soon)
Collecting flowers and hosting lunches and of course with Ito always by my side (mostly trying to steal my food)
It’s summer soooooooon 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞 and I feel like I woke up from hibernation and I’m smiling like in the last photo 🌼

Last years retreat in Pelion was one of the most beautiful and grounding experiences 🌸
A whole week of creating with our hands, learning from nature, swimming, eating together, slowing down, laughing, resting and connecting with incredible people from all over the world 🌿
I’m so excited to return to Pelion this June for another immersive week of natural dyeing, ecoprinting, Shibori and botanical colour exploration.
This retreat is for anyone who feels called to textiles, nature, creativity and mindful living - whether you’re a complete beginner or already working with natural dyes.
We will spend our days working with plants, creating colour palettes from Greek flora, learning traditional techniques, sharing meals and enjoying the magic of Pelion together ✨
There are still a few spots available and it’s not too late to join us.
June 1st-June 8th

Ceramics and natural dyeing joined together, to create a special colourful blend. For this collaboration, I chose to honour the bundle dyeing technique - a technique that for me screams “spring”. 🌺
I created samples for and she chose three the “hibiscus” print, the “chamomile” print and the “black rose” print. Rhea used these three bundle dye designs to create something similar on her ceramic collection. The result was a splatter of colour and our collaborative dinnerware collection was born. 🌼
Last week we celebrated the launch of this collection and Rhea Kalo’s new showroom in Kifisia, and now you can also find our collection online. Linen table napkins, placemats and table linens bundle dyed with plants as well as ceramic plates, bowls, vases, candles and cups. All one of a kind and unique.
Thank you Rhea and thank you to the fairies 🧚🏼‍♀️🧚🏼‍♀️🧚🏼‍♀️🧚🏼‍♀️

Drop 1 of the “Opening the closing chapter”

Chapter 1 — What the brand has been so far

What started 7 years ago as a small, intuitive project—rooted in creativity, nature, and sustainability—slowly grew into something much bigger than I ever imagined.

A world of one-of-a-kind garments, homeware, and textiles…
Each piece created with intention, care, and a desire to do things differently.

But as the brand expanded, so did its pace.

What once felt slow and fulfilling began to feel demanding.
And somewhere along the way, I realised something important:
I don’t want the brand to be just a fashion brand.
—
This is the beginning of a new direction.
A return to what feels honest, sustainable, and deeply aligned.

Over the next weeks, I’ll be sharing this transition with you—chapter by chapter.

—

For this first release, I’m opening a small selection of existing pieces from the studio:

Linen trousers, tops, and jackets—
ready-made, one of a kind, and available now.

This is part of the closing of one era…
before moving fully into made-to-order.

—

Once these pieces are gone, they won’t be remade. Link in bio to make them yours!
