Our story
byMART was founded in 2011 by me, Martina.
My earliest sewing memories take me back to the age of 6 or
7, when I would cut up old t-shirts to create clothes for my dolls. However, my
creative pursuits didn't stop there. I dabbled in painting, followed by ventures
into knitting, jewelry-making, and crochet. The path took an unexpected turn
when I decided that I want to become a makeup artist, only to find myself
enrolling in a hairdressing course. Subsequently, I resolved to pursue a degree
in Economics at Uni (albeit, not the most riveting choice). Fast forward to
2011, the year I decided to start doing what i really love - creating.
I began with simplicity,
gradually uncovering a genuine passion for crafting bags, experimenting with
unique prints on fabrics, and exploring various materials. And just recently I re-discovered my passion for jewelry making and especially earrings. Suddenly,
everything harmoniously melded together in the evolution of my artistic journey.
