An architect with Masters degree from Harvard, product and textile designer herself, Maria creates clothing for women and items for the home that exemplify style, liveability, and a discriminating taste for the simple yet extraordinary.
Polish linen fabric, originally custom woven for Chrzaszcz Inc, is complemented with the richness of silks imported from India. The bold and innovative designs are hand-dyed and hand-painted using traditional techniques, making each piece an original. Our collections consist of limited edition items made out of natural gauze and knitted linen.  While the majority of the collections are made in the Chrzaszcz studio Vancouver, Canada, many items are made in Poland in order to showcase the skills of Polish craftspeople.

Giselle Shepatin

"I want each piece in my collection to have a spontaneous and fresh look, and the flower embellishments to look as if they are still growing."

Calling her look American Whimsy, Giselle Shepatin loves designing clothing that combines unique textiles and yarns from around the world with her own handmade textiles and embellishments.

Shepatin often incorporates yarn and fabric from past collections into the current year's art clothing. She reinterprets, reassembles, and cultivates her resources to create clothing that makes the wearer feel the spontaneous energy through the cloth.

Customers have occasionally said that they have seen Shepatin's clothing in their dreams. They thought it was a fantasy, and were so excited to see that their dreams had become a waking reality.

Nancy Clark

Nancy Clark, a native Missourian, is a self-taught weaver who started weaving tapestries in 1971 while living on a Greek island. Back in the States two years later, she took a beginning weaving course utilizing a loom, and hasn't picked tapestry since. Rhythms of the loom, the sounds of the harnesses, shuttles, and beater, the feel of various yarns, the intense satisfaction during and after completion of a piece of cloth - all combine to provide the reasons she continues to weave at her ten looms. Knowing that someone will eventually wear the cloth she creates, or walk across a rug she has woven, makes the weaving process even more enjoyable.
