Ever since I was a child, my mom has passed down generations of knowledge of textiles, such as handcrafts like knitting and quilting, that are typical of the place where I grew up. Later on, as a teenager, I inherited a lot of my sister’s old clothes.

The mentality of keeping things and using what's available runs in the family. To repair, patch, inherit and save everything that can be saved. So, the research in this project is about going back to my roots in Dala-Järna. Inspired by the culture and the typical clothes, fabrics and techniques, I created this collection.
