Maybe some of you wonder how I began to design and sew these capes...

Oh! Well, my experience in sewing goes way back. I was born and raised in a
small town called Egio in Greece. My mother had her own atelier
and private school where she taught sewing.  I grew up with the wonderful
smells and textures of different fabrics - students and women from
different cultures with different body shapes and personalities.

I never wanted to go out and play with the other kids, I was learning everything my ears and eyes could pick up from my mom when she was teaching and sewing.
Then I decided I wanted to learn how to sew professionally.

She taught me everything she knew, and I learned fast. By the age of 12, I was a dressmaker and working side by side with my mom. School in the morning, sewing in the afternoon, home work at night. I loved it!

I also learned how to respect and appreciate women, and how to make a woman feel and look beautiful when she dressed up with the right clothes.

I am in my 50's now, and I follow my mother's, my teacher's, advice.
I am a Fashion Designer and Dressmaker. My team and I believe in quality and perfection in every garment we make - with the customer in mind.

I hope you like what you see on the pages of this web site. And I hope to hear from you,
so we can make one of our capes for you to enjoy for years to come.

Thank you,
Helen Bakogiannis
