One sunny day 3 years ago, I was walking in my neighborhood and suddenly I saw a place that attracted my interest right away. It wasn’t a shop, it wasn’t a gallery either. But it looked like one. I wasn’t sure what kind of a place that was but I really loved it. Some furniture from the past, some handmade kids clothes that seemed like they were from another time and place, some handmade dolls, a desk and lots, lots of boxes! For a long time every time I was passing that place, it was closed, only a piece of paper in the door with a telephone number written on it, was a sign that someone was working there!!
A couple of months later, an afternoon near Christmas I saw the door opened so I walked in and met Christina, the owner of this place. Christina makes clothes for kids and women in a way that no one makes them nowadays. Her designs could be from an illustrated children’s book from the 50s or the 60s, the fabrics she picks for each of the designs are like they were made for this particular clothe. And the most important is that you’ll never find a shirt, a skirt or a dress twice, not even in a different size. Every item is unique. And if you want something that isn’t in the size you want it, Christina will make it for you. Maybe with a small different detail from the one you saw, because everything must be unique!
