What it involves
How this one is made.
An evening commission runs twelve to sixteen weeks and takes three to four fittings. Athina drafts the pattern; the hand-work is shared between the embroidery frame on the third floor and the finishing bench beside it.
We hold forty of these a year. The number is not a marketing line — it is what nine pairs of hands finish properly without rushing a hem.
