IKKIM'O

iKKimO’s brand was born out of the admiration of the ‘know-how’ of artisans across the world. 

We live today in an extraordinary consumer society where everything looks alike, accumulates, is thrown away, becoming too quickly “has been”. We no longer know where and how, what we eat, drink and wear is produced.

iKKim’O is timeless, authentic, conscious, different. It is a small production brand that goes back to the roots of “Less is more” and “Buy quality, not quantity”.

Everything is made locally, the production chain is short, but the process remains long and slow, hence the use of the term “slow fashion”, literally and figuratively.

iKKim’O collaborates with several artisans predominately based in Indonesia and South-East Asia with whom it develops an effective work-flow and exchange. Each piece produced is unique and traditionally hand woven with natural new and recycled fabrics from cotton to cashmere. 

The patterns and materials differ in accordance with their provenance, reflecting the origin or the culture of the people, of the artisan who wove them. Most importantly, this craft preserves the know-how of the ethnic minorities from which they come from. 

Ever fewer, they dedicate their lives to it. They spend days, weeks, sometimes months making just one piece of clothing.
