Marec, 2023 - Dizajnérka Lucia Šimončič, autorka a zakladateľka značky SKVOST, sa pri tvorbe tohtoročnej jarnej kolekcie inšpirovala ponukou a filozofiou etablovanej značky FLOWER THERAPY, ktorá na trh od roku 2019 prináša udržateľné kvetinové koncepty. Obe značky, ktoré ponúkajú lokálny a udržateľný dizajn sa spojili, aby fanúšikom priniesli komplexnú esenciu jari v sezónnej kolekcii SKVOST x FLOWER THERAPY collab SPRING COLECTION.

We can safely bet that on 99% of these labels, "Made in Slovakia." cannot be found. The vast majority of these labels refer to production in third world countries. And why should we care?

In Slovakia, about 46,000 people were employed in the clothing industry in this…

Minimalism is the fundamental direction for a society so overwhelmed with consumption where we want everything immediately and we want a lot of it.   The culture of single-use and cheap, but low-quality products is “guilty” of a lot more than it may seem. While a T-shirt in the tempting sale may cost only 5 Euro, a countless number of resources such as material, thousands of litres of water, energy,…

Hibernation is soon replaced with a burst of life, and we want to flourish and grow like nature itself does. And she inspires us, too.   We get the urge to reorganize our homes, wardrobe…

For some, it’s a day like any other. For others, an opportunity to express their feelings to the people they love. Despite different perceptions, this holiday has been with us for centuries. So how did it all start? And what did you probably never know about this holiday?
