The idea

Satta is Sanskrit for existence, or being. The label was about our connection to nature and to ourselves, told through clothes and objects: an invitation to slow down, for people pulled between city life and the outdoors.

What I did

Designed and developed every category and took each one from concept to production-ready: tech packs, BOMs, sampling, fit and grading.

Ran production across Portugal, China and India, grew wholesale across Europe, Japan, the US and Australia, and ran DTC on Shopify with a global 3PL.

Held pricing, margin, cash flow and the books the whole way through.

Approach

Hands-on and material-led: texture, form and function first. A wardrobe for people who make things.

Patterns were cut in-house in our Barcelona studio, and the garments made by small ateliers with fabrics mostly from Japan and Italy.
