Hi. I'm a Dzūkaitė!

WHO AM I?

I'm happy to be living in my beloved homeland. After a bit of travelling around the world and Lithuania, I decided to come back and stay where my heart is.

A lot of water has flown since I graduated from Vilnius College with a degree in marketing. I also only discovered it on my second attempt. So I can only confirm that you have to be unafraid and keep trying until you finally succeed!

I've worked many different jobs in my life. You can imagine, I have even travelled with the Czech circus for their whole season in Lithuania and participated in their fire show. I am amazed by this work. And later, even in the office, I found it easy to diversify my work, creating benefits for the company and myself. So it's been a really colourful and winding road to this moment. I am very curious what tomorrow will bring.

How it all started

I've always been the kind of person who wanted to create something, to produce something, to realise something. It's hard for me to stand still. But I've never been sure what I could do that would not only make my soul happy, but also have potential. When I became a mother, out of a desire to have some tangible result at the end of the day, I finally discovered weaving.

Yes, yes, we all know that raising a child is a big job, but at the end of the day, next to the scattered toys and the wide smile of the little one, you want to know that something was done for more than just that moment.

In the beginning, I generally had maybe 10-15 free minutes a day, so I wove in the evenings and at night when the baby was asleep or just cuddled up to me in her carrier. Later, as the little princess grew up and learned to sleep without her mother, I found a little more time for my hobbies. And so the journey of "Dzūkaite" slowly began.

My vision

NATRALNESS

I try to make sure that every product is made from the most natural materials possible. Especially those that often touch the body. Of course, there are some products, such as some of the table runners, which are made from cotton + synthetic cord for practicality and aesthetic reasons.

EVERYDAY IMPROVEMENT

There is no limit to perfection when it comes to handmade products. There is always room for improvement, always new ways to make things better, more beautiful, more aesthetically pleasing. That's what I'm trying to do - to improve every day and to keep growing, not only as a person, but also as a maker.

FULL

COMMITMENT

When I take on a new project, I give myself to it completely. It doesn't matter if I find time to weave in the morning, day or night. Whenever I create, I focus on the process and put only the best emotions into each knot. I believe that my little one will grow up seeing this example and appreciating the time and work that others put in.

ATTENTION TO DETAILS

It's important to me that every detail fits. That's why I choose my colours carefully and always try to match even the smallest details. If I have chosen silver rings in a product, the pendant must also be silver. If I put a clasp, it will also be silver. After all, it is the perfect match that gives the feeling of completeness.
