Handcrafted & Unique Designs.
I’m a specialized knitwear designer/ manufacturer with varied creative experience, keen passionate interest in hand- knitwear design and product development.
Every item is handmade with great attention to detail and expresses my creative ideas through it. They're all handcrafted by my original designs (excepting the designs for Daemi knitwear factory). Most items are one of a kind samples, but some can be custom-made and produced in limited quantities.

Experience:
I have developed a love for all different textures of yarns: silk, wool, cotton and for handcrafted work since i was a little girl because I had the best teachers in the world: my mother and my grandmother.
In April 2005 I started as freelance designer opening my studio specialized in custom made and ready-to-wear clothing.
In 2010 I graduated from Faculty of Applied Arts and Design (Cluj-Napoca, Romania) with "Alternative Handmade" Collection, showed also at Europe Future Fashion in July 2011 ( Split, Croatia).
"Enlightenment" - one of my "Alternative Handmade" Collection dresses, was exhibited in Arts Depot Open 2012 ( 26th July - 9th September 2012) - London, UK.
During last 2 years of college I worked as a fashion designer in a knitwear factory in Romania.

Delights and wishes:
I love to innovate, to combine free-form crocheted, knitted and woven patterns, to experiment with colours and textures, but my aim will always be to design clothes and accessories which are functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. My desire is to see my customers pleased with their purchase- so just convo me to discuss your requirements or questions regarding the products, custom made orders, shipping etc.

It' s all about my passion and I hope you will enjoy it like I do.
Warmest Regards
Maria
