Meet the Makers: The Artisans Behind KITI’s Unique Finds
At KITI, we believe that every object tells a story. That’s why we carefully curate pieces from independent artists, small businesses, and passionate makers who pour their creativity into every detail. From hand-dyed silks to nostalgic scents and artisanal crochet, these makers bring something truly special to our shop in Madrid.
Malin: Naturally Dyed Silk Accessories from Denmark
Founded in 2023 by Danish textile and fashion designer Malin Sofia L. Strandbech, Malin is a brand that embraces nature’s unpredictable beauty. Using locally sourced and leftover flowers, food waste, and non-toxic plant pigments, Malin hand-dyes high-quality OEKO-TEX certified silk, creating one-of-a-kind accessories. The slow, intentional process behind each piece ensures that no two are exactly alike—just like nature itself.
Inspired by the natural cycle of life, Malin’s work is deeply rooted in sustainability and timeless design. We’re thrilled to carry these poetic, plant-dyed silks at KITI, perfect for adding a unique touch to any wardrobe.
Hazeltine: Hand-Crafted Scents from New Orleans
There’s something magical about scent—it has the power to transport us, stir up emotions, and bring back cherished memories. As a native New Orleanian, I know firsthand how fragrance can capture a city’s essence, blending history, culture, and personal nostalgia. That’s why we’re so excited to introduce Hazeltine, a brand that handcrafts candles and perfumes inspired by New Orleans’ rich past.
Each Hazeltine creation tells a story, combining high-quality natural ingredients with artistic vision. Whether it’s a candle evoking an old jazz club or a perfume reminiscent of a Southern garden in bloom, these scents make any space feel warm and inviting.
The Mama Made: Hand-Crocheted Bags from Greece
Craftsmanship and tradition come together in The Mama Made, a brand built on love, skill, and family collaboration. Based in Greece, Irini, a talented crochet artist, meticulously handcrafts each bag, while her son Michail lends his stylist’s eye to the brand’s vision. The result? Timeless, beautifully made accessories that celebrate traditional techniques in a fresh, modern way.
At KITI, we love The Mama Made not just for its stunning designs, but also for the heartfelt story behind it. Each piece is a testament to the power of handmade artistry and family connection.
Why We Love Supporting Independent Makers
Every item we bring into KITI is thoughtfully chosen to enhance daily life—whether through scent, color, texture, or style. By carrying small-batch, handcrafted goods, we’re not only offering unique pieces but also supporting independent artists, women-led businesses, and sustainable craftsmanship.
