We are Celapiu - an independent fashion accessories label, ran by two sisters – Celina and Maja. We specialize in cold-weather accessories - i.e. hats, scarves, various shoulder coverings, gloves and more, which we design and manufacture in our studio in Kraków, Poland. All of our items are handmade and made with great attention to detail. Conscious choice of raw materials - nearly all of which are produced locally, as well as working with local craftsmen is also an important part of our business philosophy.

Celapiu was founded in 2005 by Celina Dębowska, who designs for the label. Celina says: "I like to think of my products as "surrealistic", describing design philosophy rather than defining a particular style. Playful, out of context, conceptual - these are few keywords to grasp Celapiu's spirit. I play with styles, shuffle between cartoon kitsch and urban deconstruction".

Celapiu products can be bought online via the label's Etsy shop and in selected boutiques in Poland, Europe, USA, Canada and Australia.

MANIFESTO
In Celapiu what matters is both original design and its perfect, conscious implementation. Our products are handmade, we use manufacturing techniques and locally produced materials – all of them come from Europe and we try to use Polish components as much as we can. We believe that it is worth producing hand made elements – an object that receives a lot of focused attention and care when doming to life becomes the carrier of these values and thanks to this it is beautiful. Each seam is a symbol of creative process, when in a truly magical way, thanks to the work of human hands, a completely new being is formed. Celapiu stands in opposition to large textile chainstores, where creativity is reduced to replicating ideas from catwalks, work on the design is not driven by imagination but procedures and the final product is totally detached from the people who take part in the process of creation. By protesting against the low quality of one-time fashion we support local craftsmen and creators, also in everyday life.
