A Journey Rooted in Artisanal Textile Art
Sigrid’s career started with a fascination for natural fabrics and traditional dyeing techniques, which led her to explore the rich world of hand block printing.

The block printed garments in the Sigrid Olsen collection are more than just clothing; they are wearable art. Crafted using sustainable, breathable fabrics, these pieces showcase the best of handcrafted artisan clothing that supports both the environment and the communities behind the craft.
Why Hand Block Printed Cotton Fabric Matters
Hand block printed cotton is not only visually stunning but also practical. The natural dyes used in the process are eco-friendly, and the cotton fabric itself is breathable, comfortable, and perfect for layering throughout the seasons. This aligns perfectly with Sigrid Olsen’s philosophy of creating clothes that feel as good as they look.
Choosing artisan made clothing from Sigrid Olsen means embracing slow fashion and sustainability. Each garment represents hours of skilled labor, often from artisans in regions with centuries-old textile traditions. This dedication to ethical craftsmanship is a cornerstone of Sigrid’s design ethos, making each piece a meaningful addition to your wardrobe.
