Founder of Khallvat

Khallvat

My dressmaker mother instilled in me a strong love of cloth since childhood. My genuine interest became color combinations and embroidering nature-inspired motifs. My Instagram profile, khallvat, lets me enjoy the spirit of graphics and fabrics by sharing and selling my one-of-a-kind creations. This adventure is priceless to me since I am able to create with my hands and involve my community.

Summary

I have a passion for bringing unique outfits to life through my handcrafted designs, and I have over 5 years of experience in fabric selection, embroidery, fashion design, and textile research. As an experienced sewer and embroiderer, I take delight in giving meticulous attention to detail and quality in each item. I specialize in unique apparel and accessories influenced by traditional Persian traditions. I show my skill in cut and sew techniques as well as delicate hand embroidery through my own brands Haniiko and Khallvat. My goal is to update classic silhouettes while maintaining cultural history. Clients value my sense for picking just the right fabrics and trims to bring their concept to life. I like to collaborate directly with designers and stylists to help bring their ideas to life. Attention to detail and quality craftsmanship are hallmarks of my work. With a passion for textiles since childhood, I am always seeking new skills and techniques to expand my capabilities. When I'm not in my workshop, I enjoy learning about different cultures through their traditional textile arts. Please feel free to view my full portfolio at instagram.com/ Haniiko.me and instagram.com/khallvat to see examples of my work. I would love to discuss how I can help bring your next project to life.
