Curved shoulder ties are inspired by the twisted growth of wild plants and foliage.

Silent Bloom reflects the cycle of decay and renewal, where loss feeds new life. This collection embraces both fragility and resilience, balancing decline and growth. Contrasting rough textures with fluid fabrics, it captures the moment when what seems lost blooms again. Like flowers that wither and return, we move through cycles of loss and revival, finding beauty in every stage.
