Vilte is all about gorgeous felt eco art! In this online shop one can find fresh accessories and garments, handmade exclusively with natural and organic materials.
A very interesting statement of the designer: “Felting is my passion, my expression, meditation, my relation to the world. I have been a feltmaker for the past few years, absolutely obsessed with this enchanting world of fibers... I have published a book "Veltinis" ("Felt", 2008) about felting technique in Lithuania (it is the first book in Lithuania covering this textile art). I work with various kinds of wool and other natural fibers. I always prefer organic, sustainable materials for my felted items. Raw wool that I use in some of my pieces comes only from small scale shepherds who love and care for their sheep. I also practise dyeing with plants in eco friendly way. I prefer safe plants and don't use any heavy metal mordants. When I use synthetic dyes, I also choose only approved ones by OKO TEX standarts. I enjoy principles of slow fashion and slow art, and I support ethical fashion and design. My main areas of work are applications of nuno felting techniques, i.e. combining wool and fabric in felt and working with raw fleece.”
