Leather, textiles and metals are subjected to processes that reveal beauty within imperfection.

There are no fixed formulas: each piece is born from a different encounter, an offering to the darker shapes of the beautiful.
Mistreated material transforms into pieces that can be worn or inhabited.

Nothing repeats itself; everything breathes with the memory of what is alive and what decays.

under the skin of the forest

Real bodies inhabiting an impossible forest: leather, skin and fabric blending with bark, moss and wound. The collection unfolds as a small ecosystem in which clothing becomes organism, refuge and ritual.
