Made of Stories Spotlights Greek Culture with Clothing Collection Made of Stories boldly asks its audience where they would love to travel this year; Marrakech, Naples, Rio, Jaipur or Santorini? The globe-trotter designer behind the brand brings cosmopolitan garments to the everyday lives of people. The focus is on destinationthemed collections which showcase the beauty of the local culture and scenery.
This is the second collection of the newly established brand. The first collection transported audiences to Morocco, bringing boho-chic patterns to sportswear and laptop cases. The collections “Welcome to Greece”, “When in Morocco” and “Feel Bali” can be found on the website.
Bougainvillea, Greek island houses, a blue eye and olive branches make vibrant patterns on sportswear and everyday garments. The collection also highlights lesser-known customs with humor, using Greek words that have no direct translation in English. Alongside all over print leggings, the ‘kelepouri’ t-shirts, ‘neraida’ and ‘palikari’ kids wear and ‘meraki’ t-shirts are a hit. But what do they mean? Meraki means to put your soul into what you’re doing. Neraida (a fairy) and palikari (a strong and fearless young man) is the title of a Greek movie from the 70s. Kelepouri is used as a word to describe a man who is traditionally considered a spectacular find. Furthermore, all products in the collection are made-to-order and made sustainably from high-quality soft and durable materials. (Image provided by Made of Stories)
