SPRING – SUMMER 2020

The brand

KLOTHO is a sustainable fashion brand founded in Crete in 2016 that brings together the Art of Weaving with contemporary design and global trends to create items of timeless aesthetics. Artisanal garments of relaxed chic elegance made of lasting quality materials and handloom embroidered patterns.

TEXTING COLLECTION

Our SS20 collection is inspired by the rich MInoan history and culture.

Symbols of Linear B and hieroglyphics, the syllabic script of Minoans, can be seen on our prints, embroideries and jewelry details.

Different symbols put together form a text in the same way as threads put together create a cloth, ‘textum” in Latin.

Texting is an integral part of modern living and weaving is part of our way of living.

A palette of intense red, deep navy, bright white and fresh mint, the dominant colours of Minoan frescoes add to a very dynamic collection, which exudes modern shapes and timeless sophistication. The artisanal character of the collection is underlined by details and fabrics hand woven in Crete by local expert artisans.

So leaf through our collection and discover the hidden message….
