Born behind the Iron Curtain, I lived in six countries on three continents and speak several languages.
I am an ex-graphic designer and started as a textile designer in 1992. I later progressed to becoming a graphic designer for print and later a web designer.
Ten years ago, I’d had enough of London City’s rat race and created my own fashion brand Made of Carpet from scratch with ten thousand pounds of my own money.
Made of Carpet is a unique British heritage brand. We design and produce traditional and exclusive handcrafted Carpet Bags. We are the Renaissance of Victorian Fashion.The idea of these beautiful unique Carpet Bags has been inspired by such famous English literary characters as Mary Poppins and Miss Marple.
Designed in London and handcrafted exclusively in Europe, our bags come with bespoke trimmings and made from the finest quality rugs produced in Western Europe.
We have closely examined all kinds of materials and technologies, and have found those that meet a performance capacity of the highest nature in modern machinery, all of which meet an authentic Victorian experience as well as health and safety standards. Our carpets are rainproof, soft, light and silky, yet thick and firm at the same time. They are full bodied, strong and durable.
The global popularization of the Victorian fashion and British heritage is the real achievement of my business.
