The artisan

The sophisticated production of the Atelier Sorelle Asole explores, through a stylistic and artisanal research, a feminine world that has evolved through epochs and fashions and that originates from an expressive code with ancient traditions. Stefania and Monica’s synergetic work builds on their know-how and mastery of embroidery and tailoring, which they skilfully and expertly perform, as is revealed by their production rooted in an evocative past, translated with exquisite contemporary taste. Stefania, who studied in the fashion sector, learned and refined her embroidery techniques from skilful Sennori embroiderers. Thanks to this experience and experimentation she created her own expressive identity, in which embroidery is undoubtedly the distinctive feature. Monica, who, even as a child was fascinated by sewing, which she learned from her mother and female figures in the family, joined her sister’s professional path, contributing her skills and inventiveness. Their work recalls the great tailor’s shops of the past, which tailored all clothes entirely by hand, combining the artisanal tailoring and embroidery techniques with a style inspired by a feminine identity of timeless beauty typical of the island. In their Atelier in Olbia, a city of ancient history as well as a lively creative centre in northern Sardinia, they craft a distinctive and ever-expanding production of accessories and clothes in which the entirely handmade details reinforce a style that echoes ancient traditions.

The collection

The production of the sisters Stefania and Monica Asole counts accessories, shawls and clothes of particular and distinctive aesthetic value characterised by embroidery and manual crafting in all stages. The embroidery, their hallmark, is performed with technical skill and creativity, as revealed by their clothes and accessories such as large shawls, original and elegant hair bands and fine handbags. Each artefact is a unique project, handcrafted and tailor made with individually inspired details.

The technique
