About the svale
After nearly ten years working as a designer in the fast-paced fashion industry, where everything felt rushed, I began to feel a quiet pull toward something slower. I realized I had never truly given myself the space to explore my creativity.
So I started over. I taught myself how to sew, how to cut, how to shape something from nothing. I turned a small room in my home into a studio, and for three years I made everything by hand, at my own pace. The first time I finished a piece entirely on my own, something clicked. It was calm. It was joy. It was mine.

About svale
In a small room of my home, where I first learned to sew, svale came to my life. The name comes from the swallows that nest above my window. They return every spring, bringing hope and joy with them each season.
Every jacket I design carries the spirit of those swallows: graceful, empowering and free.
