Essere Isola

Inspired by Sardinian origins, this collection addresses social issues such as work, immigration, and the region’s resilience. The design combines traditional elements with workwear and military garments, showcasing local culture. Sustainability and recycling are central, with natural fabrics such as linen, cotton, and wool, and materials from antique trousseaus salvaged from waste. Artisanal techniques include Bosa filet, felt, natural dyes, and fabric aging. Small hand-embroidered details and the assembly of woven pieces complete the collection’s identity.
