Stories knitted with love from the heart of the Rhodope Mountains π
β¨ My name is Fatime.
I was born in a small village in the Rhodope Mountains β a place where time moves slowly and womenβs hands carry the memory of generations. Today I live and work in London, but my heart remains where I grew up β among hand-spun yarn, the warmth of the hearth, and the deep silence of the mountains.
As a child, I watched simple threads turn into clothing, comfort, and a sense of home. This was never just a craft β it was care, love, and a bond between people. That heritage lives within me today and has become my mission.
β€οΈ We work together β women with stories
I work with a small group of talented women from my home village. Each piece is created slowly and thoughtfully, with deep respect for tradition and for the person who will wear it.
When you choose our products, you are not supporting a factory.
You are supporting real women β mothers and grandmothers β who use their skills to support their families and keep traditional crafts alive.
Every knitted piece carries:
- the warmth of a Rhodope home
- the patience of womenβs hands
- the strength of tradition
Our work is honest, sustainable, and made with heart. We offer both ready-made items and fully custom-made pieces, created according to your size, preferred colours, and personal style.
β¨ My main project and dream β a future guesthouse in the Rhodope Mountains
π‘ This will not be just a place to stay or rest.
It will be a place for experience.
A place to return to nature, to a simpler way of living, and to our most authentic selves.
I plan to create a guesthouse surrounded by land that we will cultivate ourselves. There will be fruit and vegetables grown with care, a small dairy, animals, homemade food, and real flavours β the kind that are becoming increasingly rare.
Guests will not simply stay β they will be able to participate in:
- knitting, weaving, and traditional craft workshops
- candle making
- preparing and preserving homemade food
- the rhythm of rural life
We will share the silence of the mountains, clean air, and a deep sense of meaning.
This is an experience that is hard to find today.
But I will create it.
I deeply believe that when a woman follows her dream with consistency and faith, it becomes reality. I want my daughter to grow up knowing that feminine strength lies in resilience, patience, and belief.
Dreams are not meant to fade β they are meant to be lived. β€οΈ

This is my invitation to you β
to become part of this story from the very beginning. π₯°
β¨ Everything you see here is made by me
This website is also part of my handmade journey.
I develop it myself β without agencies or teams of specialists. I am involved in the knitting process, the inspection of finished pieces, measuring sizes, photography, photo editing, writing descriptions, and uploading everything to the site. Every page, every word, and every product passes first through my hands and my heart.
And some of the photographs are taken at home in Bulgaria, where the pieces are made, with the help of my family β including my child, whose small hands are part of this story.
That is why the website may not look like a polished commercial brand.
But it is real.
I invest my time, attention, and everything I know at this stage. I believe this is felt β in the details, in the words, and in the way each piece is created. Over time, we will continue to grow: there will be higher-quality photos, more products, richer descriptions, and I will include more women in vulnerable situations so we can work together and grow together.
This is a slow, honest, and deeply human path.
And I am proud of it.
