Collection

Children of the Golden Heart

This collection explores memory as both a physical and emotional imprint, using textiles to preserve and reinterpret personal history. It views clothing as a vessel for storytelling and reclaiming control, drawing on familiar surroundings, patchwork textures, hanging jewelry, and the layered tones of interior spaces, to evoke the feeling of home.
Central to the collection is the tension between nostalgia and lived experience, how memories shift over time and are shaped by perception. Postcards and picture frames act as visual motifs, capturing curated yet personal narratives. Handcrafted techniques such as embroidery, beading, devoré velvet, felting, dyeing, and quilting transform motifs into layered, tactile expressions of universal nostalgia.

Bio

Sakshi is a designer from North Carolina who uses textiles to tell stories grounded in memory, emotion, and the quiet beauty of everyday life. This collection is a physical manifestation of nostalgia, a whimsical reflection on the objects and details that make a space feel like home. Her work is shaped by her South Asian heritage, where craft and handwork are more than technique, they are acts of care, passed down through generations. For Sakshi, working by hand is a way to slow down, reconnect with the past, and preserve the intimacy of lived experience. She designs across womenswear and menswear, incorporating embroidery, knitwear, beading, quilting, fabric dyeing, and other tactile processes to create garments that feel deeply personal, layered, and reflective.
