To hear Guildhaus recount its origin story is akin to sitting round a small fire lit in the woods, listening to the opening lines of an Estonian fairytale.
“When needles are left to rest on pincushions, scissors are daydreaming, and only plants quietly breathe the wondering light…”
They are referencing their atelier, a space that radiates Guild’s core values of quality, sustainability, and skilled craft above mass-production. It’s earthy and it’s mystic and it delves down directly to the land underfoot. There is both turbulence and tenderness, with echoes of fashions from the last millennia reinvented and repeated from the basal layers to the crown. The collection is heavy, terrafirma, and everything runs back to the land.
