Meet Annewil.

Textile designer

Amsterdam

Annewil, the founder of Atelier Nuna, is a distinguished textile designer whose creative journey expanded during her first pregnancy. This period marked a resurgence of her passion for sewing and embroidery, leading her to innovate in the realm of children's clothing. Utilising her time and resources, Annewil skillfully repurposed a collection of her own garments, which had become unsuitable during pregnancy, into charming baby outfits for her daughter. This process not only showcased her adeptness with the sewing machine but also her commitment to sustainable practices.

Atelier Nuna, named thoughtfully after her children Nala and Numi, epitomises the essence of handcrafted, recycled, and waste-free fashion. Each creation is a testament to Annewil's dedication and skill, crafted in her Amsterdam-based atelier. These unique pieces reflect a blend of functionality and whimsy, designed for the joys of childhood – from running along beaches to lounging in tall grasses.

The ethos of Atelier Nuna is deeply rooted in a zero-waste and circular approach to fashion. Annewil's mission extends beyond the aesthetic appeal of the garments. She aims to reinvigorate existing fabrics, transforming them into wearable pieces for children. This approach not only embodies a sustainable fashion philosophy but also contributes to a more environmentally conscious world for future generations. Through Atelier Nuna, Annewil aspires to make a meaningful impact, offering clothing that celebrates playfulness while adhering to principles of sustainability and love for the planet.
