At the heart of the ‘Beyond Illusion’ collection are designs that utilise the ancient weaving technique sakiori and the traditional natural indigo dye method combined with modern cuts. I use pineapple yarns made from agricultural waste, discarded fabrics, damaged yarns, and leftover fabric sourced from my previous collection. All ingredients are sourced locally, and I design with monofibre for recyclability. All of this creates practical, fashionable pieces that bring a delicate combination of the old and the new.

Excess pieces of fabric are saved for potential new products, used in mending, filling, or being spun into new yarn for the next weaving. The designs are adjustable and can be easily combined with other items to create new looks, adding fun and diversifying styles while minimising the wearer’s need to own similar outfits. A multifunctional vest design can be transformed into a convenient handbag.

Each product tells an original, authentic story that creates attachment for the wearer.
