We are Art & Science lovers and this is what motivates us, the apparent contradictions. How applied science & technical knowledge guide us to create purposeful & applied art pieces. How natural raw materials with their perfect imperfections show us the path to use technology in another way and not the usual to create natural but also innovative advanced pieces. How to implement crafters’ knowhow, not only in the sewing process but also in the design & creative part, to offer you functional but still loveable & well-curated pieces. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

These challenges guide us to find solutions through textile concepts of sustainable art & realize them locally, exclusively in Greece together with our solid team of experts. This vision came to life in 2011, where we found Pepper Vally\u00ae and the story continues with the support of our customers, including clothing & natural lifestyle boutiques, museums, hotels & wellness centers, different type businesses in co-branding basis <\/em>and all of you the final wearers through our e-shop, special fair and open workshop initiatives.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Important milestones were in 2015<\/strong> our inclusion in Not Just A Label<\/strong> contemporary designers portfolio, in 2018-2022<\/strong> our award winning Feel More Knitwear<\/strong> collaborative project with several editions introducing a natural fabric smart sweater with integrated textile sensors for early diagnosis of heart abnormalities. Through this innovation, the technology was patented to create fabrics that incorporate electronics and smart technologies into the garments of the future. <\/p>\n

In 2024<\/strong>, we proudly launched our 100% cotton swimwear fabric and collections<\/strong> after years of dedicated research, where turned up to international collaborations. Looking ahead to 2024-2025<\/strong>, we are thrilled to collaborate with international Suedwolle Group<\/strong> to introduce sustainable denim fabric using extrafine merino wool blends, bypassing traditional finishing procedures with environmentally friendly alternatives. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
