Our names are Mikhail and Aleksandra Savchenkov. For about five years, our focus was developing and tailoring clothes. It was an interesting but difficult path. When the creative flow began to fade, we decided to close our studio and set off into the big wide world in search of inspiration.
Seas, oceans, rice fields, volcanoes, the Himalayas; different people and their traditions. We moved from country to country, enjoying every moment. Having lived what felt like an entire lifetime in each destination, we realised that we would no longer be able to live any other way: it is travel that gives us strength and provides inspiration for our work.
Of course, we dream of one day finding our place in the world. For now, while we remain in search of it, we find ourselves living and working in Vũng Tàu, Vietnam.
