Artemis Design Co. Velvet Drawstring Handbags are handmade in a small, family-owned workshop in Turkey. The exterior is made from 100% silk velvet, which is hand-loomed by a women's collective in Uzbekistan.
Our Story
Ours is a love story; a magical carpet ride started in 2007 when designer Milicent Armstrong first fell in love with shoes and bags made from vintage Kilim carpets on a trip to Istanbul.
Craftsmanship
At Artemis Design Co., our chain of production is hands-on and handmade. Our kilim products are crafted from hand-sourced vintage textiles, and each pair of shoes takes two full days to create.
