country textile
Country Textile is a local brand from Kostroma, created by designer Victoria Arkhipova in 2018. The workshop sews clothes by hand from natural materials such as linen, nettle, muslin, hemp fabric, and the buttons are made from recycled coconut shells. All loose clothing such as flowy dresses and skirts, long kimonos, bulky shirts, quilted sweatshirts and shorts. Country Textile stands as a small-batch studio where traditional techniques meet modern comfort. Each piece is crafted with attention to texture, drape, and ethically sourced fabrics, ensuring everyday wear that feels breathable, durable, and gentle on the environment. The collection embraces relaxed silhouettes, but by using careful tailoring and natural fibers, it achieves a refined, timeless aesthetic that can layer with ease across seasons. The workshop emphasizes slow fashion principles—repairable garments, minimal waste processes, and a preference for materials that age gracefully. A lot of the work is done by hand, from cutting to finishing touches, allowing the designer to tune each garment to a unique, personal fit. The use of linen, nettle, muslin, and hemp keeps the outfits cool in warm weather and pleasantly warm when the days turn crisp. The coconut-shell buttons are not only eco-friendly but add a distinctive, natural texture that complements the raw beauty of the fabrics. The result is a line of loose, comfortable pieces that move with the body and breathe with the wearer, including long dresses, skirts, kimonos, oversized shirts, quilted sweatshirts, and shorts that invite easy coastal or countryside wear. The brand story is rooted in a love for honest craft, sustainable practice, and a minimal, versatile wardrobe that suits a modern Canadian and American lifestyle. It is a testament to how small studios can make a meaningful impact by combining traditional handwork with contemporary design notes and responsible materials. The process honors regional textile heritage while inviting new designers to explore the expressive potential of natural fibers. The work encourages customers to consider how clothing can be both practical and artistically interesting, a philosophy that extends beyond the studio into daily life. The result is clothing that feels personal, uncomplicated, and adaptable to varied climates and occasions, from city streets to weekend adventures. The brand continues to grow by focusing on quality over quantity and by sharing transparent insights into sourcing, production, and care that help customers maintain garments for years. The approach appeals to consumers who value authenticity, texture, and a slower pace of fashion, offering pieces that tell a story of craft, community, and responsibility. Inquiries about availability, care instructions, and custom fittings are welcomed, with a steady emphasis on building lasting relationships with wearers who appreciate durable, natural fabrics and thoughtful design. At its core, Country Textile seeks to celebrate everyday elegance through simple, well-made garments designed to aging gracefully with use and time, rather than chasing fast-changing trends.
