Made in Greeceland

As any disorganized person who's governed by spontaneity, I often like saying that chaos breeds creation and with this post I will try to prove just that. Greece is battling with the sixth consecutive year of "THE CRISIS!!!" and an increasing number of shops are closing down in Athens. Yet not all hope is lost, as a new wave of young entrepreneurial designers  has simultaneously emerged and it looks like they are here to stay. So this post is dedicated to all the young creative people that against all odds are taking a chance and embarking on their own little adventure by making all these beautiful things in Greeceland.

Enjoy a selection of my favorite brands...


KARAVAN clothing

Hippie chic handmade clothes for all you traveling ladies out there.
The lovers boustier is one of my favorite items during the summer holidays.





























































Myrto Anastasopoulou Jewellery

Truly unique jewellery, I get stopped constantly to receive complements for my 2 butterfly rings, I also happen to know the girl behind them and she's the real gem!





























BLANC

Extremely classy and unique handmade hats, probably my favorite purchase of the season!





































MOHXA

Surf/skater chic from the beautiful boyz of Paleo Faliro, the little piece of beach paradise that I grew up in. Their Hawaiian shirts are an absolute must!







ippolito 

Sometimes less is more. Bags in classy and simple designs made out of excellent quality leather and in amazing pastel colors.


















































FOREVER ATHENS

US militaria and workwear classics with a local artisan touch. 
















































































MYKSA

Faux fair for all the fashionistas that keep pretending they have a conscience
























































DIGITARIA 

Greek couture with an edge































The Real Intellectuals 

For some awesome handcrafted biker shit. Beautiful people that have also set up a beautiful store in the center of Athens.









































And I couldn't help but end on a Greek note…
