The maker

One pair
of hands.

Renata makes every piece herself, from the first knot to the last sequin — and photographs each one on herself, in the forest and in an old painted room.

In her words

I started knotting because I wanted something that felt like light through leaves — something you could wear and still see the world through.

Every piece begins as a single olive-gold thread. There is no pattern book: I knot until the width feels right against my own shoulders, then keep going until the tails are long enough to move when I walk.

The sequins are set by hand as I go, where the light would land if you were standing in a clearing. I wear each piece first and photograph it myself — in the forest, by the river, or in a room with old painted walls.

No factory. No pattern. Just time.

Every piece

From thread to veil

  1. Step 01

    Choosing the thread

    Olive-gold, metallic, a little stubborn. Chosen by how it looks in daylight, never under a lamp.

  2. Step 02

    Casting the first knot

    The first row sets the rhythm of the whole piece. It is often undone and begun again.

  3. Step 03

    Knotting the mesh

    Loop by loop, row by row, until the width feels right against the shoulders.

  4. Step 04

    Sequins & tails

    Sequins are set where the light would land. The tails are left long enough to move.

Commissions

Something made just for you.

Renata takes a small number of commissions — a longer veil for a wedding, a hood in a particular light, a wrap for someone you love. Write and tell her what you have in mind.
