donma

This is Donma (Don Manuel).

About 30 years ago, after winning a small amount of money in the lottery, he bought a second hand “Necchi esperia”.

With this Italian pedal sewing machine (works without electricity) from the 60s , which has been through an earthquake and is missing a few pieces, Donma is still sewing today and helped us produce a part of our new collection.

Donma lives in the outskirts of Armenia on a plot of land with a group of elderly people, where the state had relocated them after the earthquake and now has them in oblivion.
