World of Kióhne: Handmade Stitching

"Handmade craftsmanship is a defining feature in many of our pieces. By preserving traditional techniques, we support local artisans, keep heritage crafts alive and add a unique, human touch to every product." say co-founders Lydia and Amelia.  

At Kióhne, we celebrate the rich tradition of Greek handmade knitting, a technique deeply rooted in the country’s craftsmanship heritage. From the very beginning, this meticulous, artisanal method has been a signature element in every collection adding texture, depth and character to our pieces. Sometimes presented in subtle, tone-on-tone designs and other times in striking contrasts, the knitwork becomes a distinctive mark of Kióhne, blending timeless tradition with modern luxury.

When we first started, we experimented with countless methods of handmade embroidery, determined to create something that was both distinctive and durable, designed to withstand the wear of swimsuits. Our dedication to craftsmanship led us to innovate, and Kióhne became the first Greek brand to incorporate handmade embroidery into swimwear. This commitment to detail and quality remains at the heart of every collection, making each piece uniquely Kióhne.
