Welcome to " ILLIANA" website! www.illiana.eu
"Illiana" is a handcraft workshop specializing in crocheted things. It sometimes strikes our customers as odd that in the age of automatic things and outsourced manufacturing we continue to produce things by our own hands. We agree, it's quirky. But wait to the moment you receive your merchandise and, suddenly, the idea of made to order summer dress, cardigan, pillowcase with your own initials or tablecloth matched to exact measurements of your antique dinning table does not seem so odd anymore. On the contrary, it invites you to look at a newly acquired item as an exceptional piece of wardrobe, a valuable investment to be cherished and preserved and, perhaps, handed over to the future generations.
Rather than looking at crocheted apparel and accessories as a latest fashion statemente, we see it as a timeless classic. These exceptional clothes, created from varieties of cotton, linen, and wool threads, combine elegant looks and practical comfort. These are clothes that capture attention of passersby and inevitably become the object of a talk among your colleagues and friends. Our jackets, blouses, and cardigans are perfect choice for late-afternoon social gatherings, a trip to the latest exhibition, or a romantic dinner at river site restaurant, while summer dresses were created for exciting holidays and country house reatreats. occasionally, we fit our dresses with colorful accessories, pearls or "Swarovski" crystals to create a playful contrast and endow them with the air of luxury.
We realize how you feel about your purchases, which is why we put so much care and effort in fulfilling you orders. A typical process starts well before you purchase and item at our shop. First, our workshop designer comes up with a new model, combining personal influences, and styles seen on pages of vintage fashion magazines. A meticulous process of selecting proper materials and applying production techniques follows. A few long weeks of intensive work and we have a working model, witch proceeds to be tried and tested to indentify any accidental flaws, adjust details and ensure that material withstands numerous treatments. As a result, it takes us a while to come up with a new model, but we remain certain that wearing it will be an extraordinary experience for all our customers.
It comes as a surprise for those who are used to filling there wardrobes with standard clothes and bargain trophies, but here - at "Illiana" - we are used to talking to our customers about their tastes and preferences. What is a favorite color? And how would that beige look go with your bronze-colored skin? Would you like this jacket emphasize you slender arms? And we are sure this extra stitch will complement your figure. So if you were missing that special treatment, this is your chance to acquire of clothing or item of decor.

YOUR STOR
Anybody can learn knitting or crocheting, but only a few can produce flawless garments this way. The number of ornaments in one medium-sized dress can range from 300 to 3000 and more. Those all are hand made details, painstakingly put together by women of our workshop in the course of many days.
Sometimes a small mistake made in the very beginning risk to undo a whole months work, which is why we have to think through our manufacturing process many times from very different angles.
And not only that, to produce a piece of clothing that is fine to touch, fits well and does not stretch with time, an author has to take many details into account - from the type of threads to be used and ways to connect joints to the direction of knitting. We study these types of things on a regular basis, always looking for ways to improve our knowledge. As a result, we never see crocheting as a monotonous activity, but rather as a cross between chess and watch making.
One thing that sets apart our workshop from other competitors is that we take things slowly. We do not rush to stock up in advance on merchandise, but instead produce all items to order, many times, having precise measurements and a photo of a lucky owner. This allows us to create perfect fitting, unique clothes and accessories. We also work hard on quality of our merchandise down to petty details, such as making sure that a big piece of clothing is produced in its entirety by the same person. This was we can be sure that slight different in pattern, inevitable among different people, does not show up in a finished dress or cardigan.
