Add a review
Ciganka creates emerge from deep exploration and engagement with the ecology of their surroundings. Every piece they craft reflects their commitment to ethical, sustainable practices, honoring all living entities and the interconnectedness of the world they cohabit. They use local Australian suppliers, textile remnants, second-hand fabrics, reclaimed timbers, and discarded treasures from human habitation, ensuring their work minimizes waste and fosters longevity. Each creation is carefully hand-crafted in small batches to maintain quality while reducing excess production. They offer transparency in their creative process, encouraging customers to learn through workshops and offering re-dyeing services to maintain the life of their pieces. Their wild-harvesting practices are conducted with great respect for plants and their natural needs. As artists, they are constantly evolving and expanding their awareness, reshaping what it means to run an ethical business, and ensuring their processes reflect their commitment to sustainability and community.
