The love of Linen and the pleasure of living slowly brings us to this...
It all started from Love. I fell in love with Linen, the imperfection, individuality and comfort of this fabric, making piece after piece of clothing for myself and my loved ones. But soon the unexpected happened – while working on some garment, I began to notice, that my body (my finger tips, to be precise) does not take the dye very well, the beautiful linen fabric is dipped in – synthetic and possibly toxic. I was disappointed and left with the possibility to work only with natural undyed fabric. Boring, I thought. The End.
But that was just the Beginning. The entirely new world opened up in front of me. The natural palette of plant dyes is vast and beautiful and the process is sort of alchemy, that I find so exiting, unexpected and rewarding.
ingile was born and experiments began. I was joined by Egle, accessories maker, who got inspired by the clothing pieces I was making, the colors and textures and gradually started creating jewelry, complimenting my work. Greta is helping us with sewing. A strong team of three women is working slowly and with pleasure.
ingile is still a quite new, small and local brand. We do not follow the fashion calendar. Our operation is very small and quantities are limited to what we can produce.
Timeless, comfortable, natural, pleasant to the body, calm colored, subtle, but the same time very original and real conversation starters – these are the pieces we make. All our garments and jewelry perfectly go with each other or can be matched with totally the opposite- modern, bright colored clothes and shoes - for the unexpected effect. Let’s have fun!
