Christiana Vardakou

Christiana Vardakou is a textile designer based in Athens, Greece. Her brand is based on the Slow Design movement. The brand’s homeware and loungewear collections share a story and celebrate slow processes, natural materials, aesthetics, the combination of the old and the new, the modern and the traditional. Each piece is individually designed, handcrafted and can be fully customizable. Christiana uses organic fabrics and yarns that are hand dyed with natural dyes and batiks, bundle dyes, embroiders or weaves on her studios loom. The collections aim to encourage sustainability and conscious consumption — going against fast fashion and the throw away culture. Christiana’s world is dreamlike. Her items are timeless products that are sustainable, ethical, and unique — made for those mindful of the value of time and the environment.
