Our story
Two islands,
one thread.
Jeeva lives between a drawing table in London and a sunlit atelier in Colombo. Every piece begins as a sketch on one island and becomes real, stitch by stitch, on another.
Designed in the UK
Drawn in London
Every collection starts the same way: a stack of paper, a pot of ink, and the memory of somewhere warm. Our silhouettes are drawn by hand in London, cut for boat days and long lunches, then refined until nothing unnecessary remains.
We design slowly and release sparingly. We don't chase seasons. We would rather make a dress you keep for years and eventually hand down.
artistry in every stitch
Hand crafted in Sri Lanka
Sewn in Serendib
The old Arabic traders called Sri Lanka Serendib, the island of happy accidents. Ours was finding a family-run atelier in Colombo where garments are still made the unhurried way: French seams, hand-rolled hems, glass beads sewn one at a time.
Our beaded pieces carry up to forty hours of handwork each, and our crochet is made by a women's craft collective in the hill country near Kandy. We know every maker by name, and every maker is paid properly. Slow fashion only works when it is slow for good reasons.
