Christiana Vardakou is a textile designer specialising in ethical, handmade textiles for interiors and fashion based in Athens, Greece.
After completing her studies in BA: Textile Design at UAL: Chelsea College of Art and Design in London, she went on a four months textile research trip in South East Asia to learn more about traditional textile techniques.
Her work combines her love for the modern and contemporary as well as traditional techniques.
She has her own brand "Christiana Vardakou", studio and showroom in Athens. Christiana Vardakou is a brand of handcrafted textiles made with care. The homeware & 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 customisable. We use organic fabrics and yarns that we hand dyed using natural dyes in our Athens studio. Due to the nature of our processes, all products are unique. Each one slightly different from the other, yet all equally beautiful and made with love. The collection aims to encourage sustainability and conscious consumption — going against fast fashion and the throw away culture.
Timeless products that are sustainable, ethical and unique — made for those mindful of the value of time and the environment.
