Let me tell you the story of Gallodoro, my beloved Sicilian village, where Tiche moves for its summer holidays — and our slow fashion gets into an even slower working mood. ☀️🐌
Perched on a hilltop about 400 metres above sea level, overlooking the sea and just next to glorious Taormina, Gallodoro feels like a little world of its own.
The village is shaped like a little theatre: houses stacked one on top of another, charming hidden corners, breathtaking views… and a LOT of stairs.
About 300 inhabitants.
One tiny minimarket.
No bars.
And practically no tourists.
A refreshing change after Florence. :)
But Gallodoro is much more than numbers.
It’s shepherds making incredible cheese.
It’s picking mulberries and figs straight from the trees all summer long.
It’s being fed before anyone even asks if you’re hungry.
It’s knowing people — and being known — simply by walking down the street.
It’s long-standing traditions, familiar faces, spontaneous conversations and nowhere you really need to rush to.
I love it for its rhythm.
For the incredible views.
For the friendly faces greeting you in the streets.
And mostly, for the beautiful feeling that there is absolutely nowhere else you need to be. 🤍
For the last few weeks, Tiche was taking things slow.
Now we’re back in the atelier, still daydreaming about Sicily. ☀️🌿
