I started the Aumorfia brand in 2014 when I felt

0:00:11.873,0:00:20.117
the need to create a product beyond the service I used to do,

0:00:20.117,0:00:22.828
because my core profession and my studies

0:00:22.828,0:00:25.088
are in interior and graphic design.

0:00:25.088,0:00:30.848
I started with the aim of creating something

0:00:30.848,0:00:36.798
that relates to one’s daily routine,

0:00:36.798,0:00:42.088
mainly targeting people who work.

0:00:42.088,0:00:46.008
They are more items that complement clothing

0:00:46.008,0:00:49.548
and not jewelry or accessories.

0:00:49.548,0:00:54.418
I think my creations are complementary to clothes,

0:00:54.418,0:00:59.008
so they always work with the outfit of the person

0:00:59.008,0:01:03.748
who wears them and his personality.

0:01:03.748,0:01:10.668
Leather works like our skin, grows old

0:01:10.668,0:01:13.558
it wants the same care

0:01:13.558,0:01:21.738
and it actually gets our warmth and personality.

0:01:21.738,0:01:21.988
If I could say that I'm inspired by something

0:01:21.988,0:01:26.808
it's from architecture because of my specialty.

0:01:26.808,0:01:31.438
I draw inspiration from what I see during the day

0:01:31.438,0:01:37.768
as I have learned to be very observant and gather information.

0:01:37.768,0:01:42.618
I am proud to say that my production is done entirely in Greece,

0:01:42.618,0:01:45.236
at least that's what I'm trying to do,

0:01:45.236,0:01:47.858
Ι think I have achieved it by 90%.

0:01:47.858,0:01:55.098
My raw material, the leather, comes from Greek tanneries,

0:01:55.098,0:01:58.619
there are few left but they do a great job.

0:01:58.619,0:02:03.219
It's nice to live and create in a country that has a culture

0:02:03.219,0:02:07.699
that inspires you every day and it is sunny.

0:02:07.699,0:02:11.349
I'm Theano Ravazoula Potamianou and I'm the designer

0:02:11.349,0:02:13.269
and founder of the brand Aumorfia.
