manifesto of creation
the temple
The inner temple is the source of love, wisdom, strength and creativity within. We believe that our homes and the way we dress are a reflection of this inner temple. It is the outter temple which authentically inspires, protects and expresses who we are.
the circus
The circus is the place of dreams, visions and inventions becoming real. Acts beyond physical limitations. The joy of colourful characters. Possible through a delicate balance of skill, practice and dedication the life of the artist depends on.
the god-dess clan
A serene space of empowerment for real people creating magic.
the matrix
Colours heal, empower or weaken. They influence our emotions. We aim to use them so that they can raise our vibration and frequency.
Every fabric has an inbuild matrix, be it the woven pattern, the knitted or pressed pattern.
the love
The value of resources. We take care, as much as we can as a small label, that our fabrics, paints and threats are made with love. Everything we design and make is made by hand and with love.
