Tzave Designs

After three years studying Fashion Design in Paris, Maria Tzavelopoulou returned to Greece and started her career as a costume designer. She worked on television productions, stage shows, advertising campaigns and special events.

Through all her years in fashion and styling, Maria wanted to make something that was hers alone. Over the past few years that wish has become a collection of handmade jewellery and accessories, with every piece sewn and embroidered by hand.

Her work draws on Greek heritage and the history of fashion, bringing traditional influences into a contemporary aesthetic that is recognisably her own. She loves pairing materials you wouldn't expect to see together, such as feathers and crystals with trims, fabrics and decorative details, and her playful mix-and-match approach creates striking contrasts.

Every piece is made to be individual, expressive and timeless, bringing together fine craftsmanship and a modern eye for fashion.
