Annewil Hokken
Owner & maker
Inspired by her daughters and little muses Nala & Numi, Annewil Hokken creates a clothing collection for babies & kids and occasionally adults under the name Atelier Nuna. Handmade, upcycled and zero-waste. “With Atelier Nuna I hope to contribute a little to a more sustainable and better world for my daughters to grow up in.”
About the Maker
Annewil worked as a model for many years and trained as a seamstress. During her first pregnancy, she started upcycling her own clothes into babygrows. “During that period, I rediscovered my love for sewing and embroidery. With a lot of free time and a pile of clothes that no longer fit, I got behind the sewing machine to make some baby clothes for my daughter. From denim pants to shirts, every piece of clothing got a second life.”
Each piece is unique and made with love in the Atelier Nuna studio in Amsterdam Noord. Everything is done by Annewil herself from start to finish. “My mission is to give existing beautiful fabrics a second life by making new items with patchwork. I am always looking for beautiful garments that are no longer worn. What I enjoy most is to put all the fabrics together in my studio and make combinations, from which new items are made.”
Take a look in the webshop or if you have an idea yourself, you can always send Annewil a message for a custom made item!
