WHO IS ARDEMIA?

It is told like this:

“I was born in 1992 in Naples, in Southern Italy.

I was 9 years old when I tried my hand at chalk and said that one day I wanted to create something with my hands.
I was the classic child that teachers at school said – she could do more but she doesn't try! –
It would seem like the usual story of that child who secretly read Vogue magazines from his mother under the bed, yet I escaped from the world by entering my own: made up of scraps of old clothing, needles, Ida canvases and towels that I secretly sewed for the teachers underneath. school desks to give them to my mother and to sign them I hid a heart with an "A" inside them.

Over time I understood that I couldn't stop my hands because I couldn't not create so I tried to perfect my technique because I wanted to create a product that was unique and had not only an emotional but a qualitative value.

So I sweated 7 (perhaps being a woman even 8) shirts, from Manchester, where I went for the first time at 16 years old, to London, to Milan, to Aversa up to Ibizia, but at the end of my journey the moment had come that I thought of something.

Initially I thought of a product that spoke about me without being me. Maybe because I didn't want to risk exposing myself.
Yes, it would have been braver but if I had failed those who were betting on me would have been disappointed and those who were going against me would have enjoyed it!

Then one day I found myself having to explain why I was doing all this alone.

They asked me to tell my story without filters and so with a bit of embarrassment I started without stopping for a moment.
– If you don't show your face and tell your true story, no one will know what's behind all this! Behind these products there is not only a lot of workmanship and dedication but there is a soul, a story: yours! –

Each of us has a story behind us, more or less intense, and I decided, not being able to use words, to tell it in my creations. And when they ask me why I don't start sewing by machine so I would waste less time, I reply that it's not a waste of time because in every hole, in every stitch, in every embroidery there is a piece of me."

with my heart, Ardemia.
