MaisonNL

Oooooh very nice fashion brand, i spotted her again after a while...Rabens Saloner.
Home base is Vesterbro, Copenhagen, a part of the city where Birgitte Raben finds a wonderful and most inspiring multi-cultural mish mash. Her studio also houses Rabens Atelier, the designer’s ultracool interior shop.  Rabens Saloner is a state of mind. A cross between flair for fashion and a genuine love for traditional Asian craftsmanship. With every new collection all in her head (due to an old injury she can’t draw!) Birgitte visits a hotchpotch of workrooms and family businesses in all corners of Asia. Village dressmakers, leather smiths, armies of knitting grandmas, and Nepalese men, huddled in groups of four to stitch the most breathtaking embroideries. Birgitte’s got a soft spot for things that are made by hand, and she’s very keen to promote sustainability in the countries of origin.”There is so much inspiration to gather from local artisans if you show them that you appreciate their skills and admire their traditions. It’s a kind of mutual fertilization, if you keep an open mind, amazing things can emerge from it,” Birgitte says. Well and that happens...It's so nice to hear these cool designers talk about their love for craftsmanship and designing unique pieces, love for the clothing, love for the people who make them and they will be loved by the people who wear them...like me...
