Marco and Michele's handprinted textiles are inspired by traditional Balkan scarves. In fact, their workshop has revived a family business that once supplied the Balkan states, but now turns out scarves, bags, T-shirts and shawls fit for urban fashionistas. The production is sustainable and they only use natural fibres in their limited-edition prints, including silk from Como.
