This collection explores the emotional journey of growing up and leaving home, through the use of rich textures and exaggerated silhouettes to reflect how comfort evolves and transforms as we mature. Influenced by the philosophy of wabi-sabi, the collection embraces craftsmanship, organic shapes, and the beauty of imperfection inspired by memories of my youth.
