A02 ACE UP YOUR SLEEVE

Everything you need to understand right away. The seemingly endless variety of our shirts can be translated to be available to everyone. That is, we will learn together to make combinations. We rummaged so deep in museum deposits, in villages and fairs, that we managed to find the true purpose.

I’ll explain it to you together with Gabriela, as I also learned, in stages. So:

The variety of our shirts is largely due to the way we choose to make the sleeves. If you want to stand out with a more special shirt, it will really help you to explore the older solutions. You will find more ideas and inspiration in the regional variants. From how the altiță is born from the body of the sleeve, to excesses for luxurious shirts, you will learn everything: how we cut the fabric, how we join the pieces and how we finish down at the wrist.
