The beginnings of the Mrzelj family hand weaving date back to 1970. Majda Mrzelj was a designer and a weaver by profession and her husband carefully and diligently planed and made looms based on the available museum exhibits. Upgrading, improving and perfecting the traditional techniques of weaving represented such a challenge for the unique designer, her daughter - Katarina Mrzelj landscape architect. Katarina started weaving in a unique and experimental way combining both the present and the past. Mrzelj hand-woven linen clothing attracts and astonishes with its elegant harmony, fairy-like femininity, amiability, naturalness; with its delicate structure and artistic accent of the fabric texture, but also with the natural materials and their primary colors. The author’s sovereign style, her vision and visibility speak of elegance with style for every occasion.
Začetki ročnega tkanja v družini Mrzelj segajo v leto 1970. Z ročnim tkanjem se je profesionalno ukvarjala že oblikovalka Majda Mrzelj, statve pa je skrbno in študiozno načrtoval in izdelal glede na dostopne razstavljene muzejske eksponate Majdin soprog Peter Mrzelj. Kako nadgraditi, poglabljati in izpopolnjevati tradicionalne tehnike tkanja je Katarini Mrzelj-hčerki, krajinski arhitektki pomenilo velik izziv. S tkanjem je na samosvoj in eksperimentalen način v povezovalnem duhu današnjega s preteklimi časi pričela hči Katarina. Ročno tkana oblačila Mrzelj pritegnejo občudujoče poglede z elegantno skladnostjo, vilinsko ženstvenostjo, prijaznostjo, naravnostjo, s finesami v strukturi in z likovnimi akcenti v teksturi blaga pa tudi z naravnimi materiali in njihovo primarno barvitostjo. Avtoričin suvereni slog, vizija in prepoznavnost, govorijo o eleganci s stilom za prav vsako priložnost.
