Meet Giny.

Textile designer

Amsterdam

Meet Giny, a passionate artisan with a heart for crafting and a commitment to sustainability.

Initially trained in handicrafts as a teacher, she found limited opportunities upon graduating. Undeterred, she pursued a career as a caregiver while nurturing her creative spirit through her personal studio.

Over the past decade, Giny's studio became a place where her creativity flourished. As she honed her skills, she witnessed a steady growth in her craft. In 2019, Giny made the bold decision to leave her caregiving career behind and devote herself entirely to her studio.

Central to Giny's artistic ethos is her commitment to sustainability. She's dedicated to breathing new life into existing materials, embracing a waste-free and transparent approach to her work. From repurposing boat canvas to salvaging sample fabrics from interior shops to create toiletry bags, Giny transforms overlooked materials into timeless pieces of art.
