(Archive) Âme. Fine fashion restoration 

This project was part of DDW 2021
Chanel Classic Flap restoration

In a world where everything is disposable, Âme is born. A project with the aim of conserving and restoring objects with a soul.  The love for savoir-faire and handcrafted pieces, give rise to its author to contribute to the preservation throughout generations.

Preserving stories through fashion preservation.

When her grandmother passed away, she understood how important an inherited piece can be and decided to start researching new techniques to extend the life of her products. Of course our inheritances are the memories and teachings of loved ones, but an object can become an amulet that accompanies us every day.

After a couple of years of research and completing training with the best artisans, MarĂ­a has developed her own techniques for each product. She analyzes each type of fabric and metal to give a personalized and unique treatment. Pieces from Chanel to Louis Vuitton have passed through her hands.

Each and every one of the restored pieces keep countless stories behind and are ready to live a thousand and one more by the hand of their new owners. Obtaining a piece with a soul not only brings us closer to a more sustainable world but also allows us to leave part of our lived moments as an inheritance to our loved ones.
