The ditta felt garments show a commitment to slow design. The sustainable, eco-friendly concepts are expressed in small collections, looking for an innovative, unique design.
The label follows the tradition of handmade felted garments. The shapes are inspired by the felt works, and garment shapes used by the nomadic tribes, and also incorporates the plastic forms of present day’s fashion. The colours come from the natural elements and traditional clothing. The garments are made from fabrics using natural materials (soft, pure merino wool, silk, cotton, linen), natural dyes, eco dyeing. The organic motifs of the printed collections express the nomadic tradition, the patterns establish the connection between the two worlds, making the garments fit into our times.
