For those offering design, not just a towel.
Ikigai was born from the union of affection and purpose.
Ikigai, in Japanese, is one's reason for being. It is what gets you out of bed every day. Ours is transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary through embroidery.
I am Ariadne, I started with a home sewing machine and the desire for every gift to tell a story. Today, every piece that leaves the studio is designed to last - in the quality of the fabric and in the memory of those who receive it.
What makes us different:
Truly bespoke. We do not work with a set catalog. Each monogram and each piece of art is designed by me on the computer especially for you.
High-definition computerized embroidery. This is what ensures that the stitch does not fray, does not deform, and remains perfect for years, even with daily washing. Each embroidery is executed on professional machines and the final finish is checked by hand, one by one.
Ready-made and made-to-order. We work with ready-made items for dispatch within 24 hours and also made-to-order for special projects. No huge stagnant inventory.
Thank you for being part of our Ikigai.
With love,
Ariadne Gomes
