I treasure

Painted by is a series of garments in progress.
Starting points were beautiful antique Bulgarian
family pieces to which different generations
have added new elements.
We were touched by the soul
of these layered garments.

Painted by consists of unique pieces
that have grown from different signatures.
Each piece has been worked on in sequence by
Dutch designers and artisans of nearly forgotten techniques,
that have become precious beyond time.

A story in garments.
