The Story Behind Our New Matte Gold Zip-Up: A Blend of Family, Nature, and Slow Fashion

Our latest design is deeply personal—rooted in family history and inspired by nature. I recently discovered that my grandparents, who lived in Sumatra, were passionate about mushrooms too and named their venture “Djamoer Barat” after one found near their fields. This connection inspired me to create a print that reflects not only their love for mushrooms but also my own journey with Studio Catta.

The black zip-up jacket features a matte gold mushroom design, with a hidden cat at its center—adding a playful touch. Each piece is handcrafted in our Amsterdam atelier, following the principles of slow fashion and sustainability. The jacket closes with a golden zipper, combining elegance with everyday wear.

At Studio Catta, every design tells a story, blending craftsmanship with mindful production. This zip-up is more than a fashion piece—it’s a symbol of heritage, creativity, and sustainable style

Slowfashion Amsterdam | Timeless Sustainable Fashion at Studio Catta

🌿 Slowfashion Amsterdam 🌿

At our boutique atelier in the historic heart of Amsterdam, we define sustainable fashion by creating classics.

Slowfashion means embracing timeless, well-crafted designs that stand the test of time.

In the fast-paced world of fastfashion, new collections flood in every season, leading to massive waste as unsold items are quickly discarded to make room for the next batch.

At Studio Catta, we reject this cycle. We don’t follow seasonal trends. Instead, we create, wear, test, and refine our designs until they become classic favorites that elevate your style year after year.

Take our classic A-line skirt, for example. It’s been a staple in our collection for over a decade. While the fabrics may change, the original pattern, developed using the moulage technique, remains the same. This technique allows us to envision and perfect the design in 3D before transforming it into a 2D pattern, ensuring a perfect fit and flow. Our A-line skirt is beloved by many, with some customers owning multiple versions because of how beautifully it moves with their body. And the best part? This skirt is ALWAYS available in our studio.
