It’s my first week properly back in the studio after holiday and loads of personal life admin (settling in a new nursery, house works and the list goes on 😵💫). It has been a struggle really 🫣
So I decided instead of following my strict work schedule to relax sewing some cushions and remind myself why I love spending time in my studio and generally doing what I do 😊
Hopefully I will put them on my shop one day 😝😅

So happy and relieved to have finally finished the last piece for @ap_showroom_athens 😅😅😅
It’s been a hell of a month with loads of bumps but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel 🙃 And I am very excited to share my work with loads of shops in my home country, Greece!

Today marks 201 years of Independent (modern) Greece 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷!
So here are a few of my drawings inspired by my cultural heritage. Looking at what’s happening around the world these days I feel very privileged and grateful for this anniversary. It feels like nothing can be taken for granted anymore…

Hello! It’s been a while 😀
After a well deserved break back in January, I have been non stop busy cutting and sewing…
Being a working mum (yes I know-huge cliché!!) has its challenges especially when it comes to managing time and prioritising. So naturally for me socialising here has ended up at the bottom of my huge list. I feel sad about it but then I try to remind myself that I just have two hands 🙌🏻 😂
Have a lovely weekend everyone 😊
Merry Christmas everyone 🎄🎄🎄
Was watching a documentary about polar bears this morning and how they are struggling to survive these days. So I dug out one of my very first designs and used it a basis for wishing you all a happy holiday. I hope you are all spending these days with loved ones, whether this is your entire family or just your dear pet ☺️
Loads of love, Eleni xxx
These are my new handbags, hand made with organic cotton canvas, digitally printed here in the UK. They are now available on my website!

Back to the studio unpacking after @scooplondonshow and yes this is exactly how I feel…Nicholas stole my spot 🙃. It was so lovely to meet people face to face after 2 whole years. Thank you to everyone who popped by and a very special thanks to @strawberrymargaritta for all the help 😊

SS22 in the making ⭐️ will be showing my new collection in London @scooplondonshow next week! Can’t wait to share more pictures…🤗
A very few but new cotton cushions are now available on my website ⭐️ It feels like wholesale orders have taken over my life but working hard to update my website 😅
