ava nord

Ava Nord is two Swedish designers’ idea about feeling the nature in what we wear – accessories as unique handmade wearable art.

Having their roots in the South Swedish archipelago where they get inspired by the Nordic nature and culture, this is also where they form their thoughts about slow fashion.

Slow in the sense of letting ideas be timeless, using clean or vintage material and slow as in letting creations take time and be filled with thoughtfulness.
