Sustainable Summer Staples – Curated Just for You

Ludus is an agender label that makes garments from natural fabrics like cotton, silk, linen and upcycled leather with minimum or no waste in the production cycle. Based on emotions, often melancholic and sad, the collections walk the line between wearable and sleek avant-garde with monochromatic, minimal looks and sculptural silhouettes

“This world needs more than just brands. It needs creatives with innovative ideas. Designers with a strong voice who are not afraid to raise it through the noise. Innovators with bold ideas making a difference in the world. People that care. This world needs YOU more than ever.”

Sila Kejžar pieces are crafted using high-end deadstock materials combined with handmade antique textiles, bringing layers of history, craftsmanship, and emotional texture into every garment. Every piece is unique, made to order, through close partnerships with artisans and family-run workshops. In a world of excess and speed, Sila Kejžar choses patience – valuing garments made with time, care and a sense of lasting presence.

Since its launch in 2020, ByJGK has been creating distinctive, utterly wearable luxury basics made of silk or jersey—the kind that all minimalists dream of and can never seem to find elsewhere. ByJGK’s commitment to sustainability begins with the careful selection of fabrics and innovative but lasting design. All garments are made of GOTS certified silk or a merino wool blend produced by one of the oldest weaving families near Venice, Italy.

Hi, I’m Sandra, founder of utopiast.

I created utopiast 10 years ago with the belief that there still exist thoughtful, one-of-a-kind pieces created by the maker’s touch. Stories written at the product’s creation stage, not in marketing departments. Objects with personality woven into every stitch, molded into every curve. They just take some patience and effort to find. And nothing excites me more than discovering and presenting them to you here at utopiast.

If you would like to read more about how we choose every piece on this website, check our sustainabilty criteria.

And if you would love to get more insight into emerging designers you haven’t met yet (but you should!), reflections on personal style as a form of self-expression, dispatches from my travels and living in Berlin, and honest insights into building a purpose-driven business, head over to our Substack.

We are opening our first physical space in Berlin later this year!
