Craftcore

Craftcore is a style rooted in the idea of returning to one’s roots, honoring handmade craftsmanship, and embracing authenticity. Its philosophy is tied to a slower pace of life, conscious consumption, and a rejection of mass production in favor of uniqueness and individuality. Craftcore expresses a longing for sincerity and warmth, evoking the atmosphere of artisanal work, natural materials, and creative self-expression. It’s a style where every item tells a story, and imperfections are celebrated as part of its beauty.

Signature elements of the style

• Color palette: natural tones — beige, ochre, terracotta, earthy brown, green, and muted shades of blue and gray.
• Materials: natural fabrics, raw leather, and other natural materials. Textured materials are often used to highlight the handcrafted feel.
• Prints: minimalistic patterns, with a focus on fabric texture. Ethnic motifs or designs reminiscent of hand-painting may appear occasionally.
• Silhouettes: loose, asymmetrical, and comfortable shapes. Details that evoke a handmade quality—like uneven seams, decorative patches, and fringe—are key.

• Shoes: rugged-looking shoes, such as thick-soled boots or strappy sandals, often featuring hand-stitched or artisanal elements.
