HANDMADE BY REFUGEE WOMEN
All our products are handmade by refugee women in our studio in Athens & Izmir. We work with left-over fabrics from the industry and upcycling-materials we save from the dumpsters. Each product is unique or only available in very limited quantities. The proceeds from every single purchase goes directly back to supporting our talented tailors and their families as well as hundreds of other refugees in Greece.
At the moment we only ship in Switzerland.

100% Social Impact
- We create jobs for refugee women, including childcare during working hours, to help them achieve financial independence for themselves and their families.
- All profits go to our Safe Space for refugee women and children in Athens, which is visited over 1200 times a month.
- Each product includes a label with the story of the woman who made it. This way, we raise awareness of the challenges refugee women face on their journey and in Europe in a simple but effective way.
Our Tailors
Our tailors are refugee women living in Athens. They originally come from Afghanistan, Congo, Pakistan, Guinea, Kurdistan, Cameroon, and Iran. Many of them are single mothers.
PRODUCTS FOR CLIENTS
We offer comprehensive sustainable and ethical fashion services for companies, brands and designers. Our skilled team offers prototyping, sampling and production, ethically and sustainably produced. All proceeds go to our projects for refugees.
