Sustainable silk

  • • Marco hand prints garments with traditional patterns
  • • His shop and workshop is in the heart of Trieste
  • • Dezen indicates a pattern, from the French word “dessin”

Dezen Dezen is an intriguing project born in 2014, when Marco Cernogoraz and Michele Grimaz, two creatives unemployed at the time, decided to start a new business based on a very good idea. Using the disused equipment from Marco’s family workshop – where his family used to craft, since 1938, the traditional square scarves that women wore on their heads in ex-Yugoslavia – to create something new, with a unique cultural twist. In just three years, thanks to the excellent quality of the vintage silk-printing screens, to Marco’s skills as a printer and to the decision to use high-end fabrics and ink – and also Michele’s contribution in terms of branding and digital communications – they opened Dezen Dezen, their own workshop in the heart of Trieste.
