Embroidered accessories
- • Ksenia defines embroidery as a kind of magic
- • Her first object was inspired by a black orchid
- • She loves to make objects that make people happy
Ksenia Semirova's background in industrial and textile design led her to ponder on how to preserve and adapt the rich heritage of traditional embroidery techniques in a contemporary way. What started as a hobby quickly became a career since she made her first embroidery project, a glove-purse concept inspired by a black orchid and the lavish parties of The Great Gatsby, one of her favourite books. Mixing Luneville tambour and Russian pearl embroidery techniques, she designs multifunctional accessories aimed at enhancing people’s personalities as they carry with them little pieces of her art. She believes the tiny imperfections of her handmade creations are what help her customers recognize the non-industrial nature of her products.
