Our Story

Lefkara lace, lefkaritika, is one of Cyprus's most treasured crafts and a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. For centuries, the women of Lefkara have embroidered intricate geometric patterns into linen, creating pieces that have travelled far beyond the island and into homes, collections and hearts around the world. I'm Andreani, founder of Folkmona, a Cypriot luxury fashion brand that weaves traditional heritage crafts into contemporary clothing. Teaching lefkaritika is at the heart of what I do, keeping this craft alive, accessible, and celebrated. In this workshop, held right here in Cyprus, you'll learn the foundations of Lefkara lace from scratch. No experience needed, just curiosity and a love for something made by hand.
