Penelope Queen of Ithaca

Penelope, one of Homer’s immortal women, was the paragon of marital fidelity – a serious and industrious character, a devoted wife and mother. She was rich. She was beautiful. She had 108 suitors inside her house, asking for her hand in marriage.

Believing her husband would eventually return to her, she adeptly encouraged each man with hints and promises but chose no one, all the while, buying her husband time to find his way back to her.

Penelope is the perfect example of a woman’s artfulness and intelligence. She would weave her plots as deftly as she would a garment.

Ethically made pieces offer the opportunity to invest in exceptional clothing that has been consciously crafted and lasts forever.

All items in this collection are made-to-order resulting in extra luxurious, conscious pieces. Your uniquely made item will create less waste as well as lowering overall environmental impact and allow for complete supply-chain transparency. Upon ordering, through a series of emails, you can follow your garment’s journey from silk screening in Soufli to hand-stitching in our Athens atelier to its arrival at your door. This process spans 3 weeks, with attention to detail and every care taken to create your special silk garment
