About us

Life doesn't fit into categories.

So why should your wardrobe?

Atelier NOTTO was created for women whose days don't begin and end in one place.

We work from wherever the day takes us.

We meet friends for lunch.

We catch flights.

We attend board meetings and school runs.

We go for dinner.

We read in bed.

Too often, our wardrobes ask us to change for every version of ourselves. We wanted fewer pieces that could do more. We believe a great design doesn't need to be reinvented every season. Instead, we let exceptional silk fabrics give each piece a new expression.

Our garments are designed to move seamlessly with you throughout the day. From the morning coffee to the last page before sleep.

Elegant enough to wear out. Comfortable enough to never want to take off.

We believe true luxury isn't about saving beautiful clothes for special occasions. It's about wearing them every day.

Hello, I am Ewelina - the founder of NOTTO

In my late thirties I was already deep in my corporate career with a closet full of clothes that didn't fit my life. I had pieces hanging there still with the price tags on, made for younger women or a body that wasn't mine anymore. I was in need for timeless outfits that felt professional, comfortable yet still feminine.  

Then, the pandemic made this need even sharper. Working from my dining table, month after month, I realised how many of us were quietly giving up on getting dressed at all. That was a moment when I decided to create the wardrobe I couldn't find.

I am not a designer by training nor education. I spent almost 20 years working in Finance. But I was committed enough to learn: fabrics, trade shows, suppliers, pattern-making.

I managed to find and work with great professionals. And together we managed to create pieces that are truly exceptional. Before our first piece existed, we hand-patterned a base sample - a dress in cotton, using haute couture technique. This rare tailoring method guarantees perfect fit of each of our garments.

We also work with rare silk fabrics originally produced for leading luxury houses, but never made into production. I source every match personally - sometimes as small as few meters. Once the fabric is gone, it will never be repeated.

By giving these beautiful fabrics the second life, we create limited collections that combine exceptional quality with more thoughtful approach to fashion. We believe beautiful fabrics should be worn, not wasted.
