アルケミラ

Alchemilla Artifacts is a slow fashion brand devoted to the quiet art of handmade clothing. Drawing its name from Alchemilla (アルケミラ)—Latin for “little alchemist”—the brand speaks to transformation: the turning of simple, natural fibers into garments with soul. Each piece is crafted from materials like cotton, linen, and wool, chosen for their ability to breathe, soften, and gracefully age.

Rooted in heritage aesthetics, our designs represent history rather than future. They favor asymmetry over precision, simplicity over spectacle, and impermanence over perfection. We embrace the wear, the rust, the fade—believing that clothing, like art, is meant to evolve over time.

At Alchemilla Artifacts, we make garments not just to be worn, but to be felt, remembered, and treasured as living artifacts.

Materia Prima the first collection

There is a moment in the making of every garment when it ceases to be fabric- and begins to breathe. That instant is the soul of Materia Prima. 

The phrase, meaning "first matter", speaks to origins - to what lies beneath creation. Before form, before function, there is essence. In this collection, we return to that essence: the raw natural fiber, the quiet rhythm of the hand, the transformation of materials through time and touch.

Each piece in Materia Prima embodies the grace of aging. Natural dyes leave traces of their process. The garments are not fixed; they are alive, changing and evolving with every wear. The fabric softens, the color deepens, and the memory of the body becomes part of the cloth itself.

In this spirit, the silhouettes are simple and unbound - wide trousers that move like breath, draped turtlenecks that envelop without constraint, jackets and vests imprinted with fragments of art that decay. They are not costumes for the future, but artifacts of the present - living relics of craftsmanship and impermanence. 

On the runway, faceless figures walk in anonymity. Their garments speak for them - voices of linen, cotton, and time. This anonymity is not erasure, but transformation: the shedding of the self into something elemental. In their silence, they remind us that what endures is not identity, but essence.

Artifact in stillness represents preservation. It is the moment we pause and history begins to settle into form. These pieces using natural linen and cottons drawn from earthy tones carry the patina of age. Textures left untouched, revealing the honesty of their making. These garments do not demand attention; they invite reflection. The embodiment of heritage.
