Personal story

Anita was born in Albania, in 1974. She moved with her family to Greece in 1991, when she was 17 years old. Her family immigrated to Greece because of economic challenges in Albania.

In the beginning, they moved to Crete, where Anita’s father worked as a farmer. But, as she remembers, the working conditions were not good. So, they moved to Athens, where he started working in construction.

Anita was facing enough problems with the language, so her parents chose to send her to a vocational rather than a general school. She started taking lessons in dressmaking and received a scholarship for a college of fashion design.

When she got her diploma, she decided to create her own fashion workshop for clothes alterations and repairs.

Anita considers her business as a social enterprise, as it is eco-friendly. She recycles old textiles in order to design new clothes.
