The atelier
Made by hand, never repeated
Every vest, bag and pillow is cut, sewn and embroidered by hand in Birgitta's atelier — often with her grandchildren close by. Nothing is mass-produced; each piece carries the small, deliberate marks of having been made by one person, for one home.
“Each piece is one of a kind.”
— Birgitta
Heirloom materials
Chosen to last a lifetime
Birgitta works with natural sheepskin, sheep-fur and fine linens — materials chosen not for the season, but for the decades. Worked gently and finished with leather and hand-stitching, each piece is made to be kept, worn, and passed on.
Because every hide and every length of thread is different, no two pieces are ever quite alike. When one finds its home, it is gone for good.
Commissions welcome
