Kozii

A Kozii é uma marca de roupa nacional onde os tecidos e modelos de autoria se fundem num ambiente impregnado de histórias e viagens pelo mundo fora.
A kozii trabalha, na sua essência, com algodões e sedas estampados manualmente através de uma técnica de estampagem originalmente usada na Índia, China e Japão, conhecida como Wood Block Printing.
Wood Block Printing é o processo de estampagem de tecido mais antigo, mais simples e mais lento até hoje conhecido. É, também, no entanto, capaz de atingir resultados artísticos incríveis, alguns dos quais impossíveis de atingir com qualquer outro tipo de estampagem.
Num prenúncio de influências orientais e com um design exclusivo, étnico e sofisticado, a Kozii conjuga com mestria a qualidade dos materiais e as técnicas usadas a um apurado sentido estético, dando assim resultado a propostas imperdíveis.

Kozii is a clothing and accessories brand with its concept store located at the very heart of beautiful Tavira, in the East Algarve.
Designed and conceived by Cecília and Nuno, a Portuguese couple that fled the capital in search for a more laidback lifestyle, Kozii seeks inspiration from ancient printing and weaving techniques from across the globe, presenting clothing and other home textiles with its very own exclusive designs and fabric compositions.
Constantly travelling in the search for unique materials to transform and bring back home, kozii’s collections are steeped with stories and experiences of many travels around the world, delivering fashion in fine cottons, linen, silk and cashmere wools.
In an allusion to both Oriental and African influences, Kozii integrates with a certain ease premium materials with a well-rounded contemporary aesthetical sensitivity, resulting on the creation of highly distinctive designs.
One of the printing techniques used is known as woodblock printing, where patterns are printed on textiles with hand-carved wooden stamps. This technique is the earliest, simplest and slowest of all methods of textile printing, capable of yielding highly artistic results, some of which are unobtainable by any other method.
Kozii is, and very importantly, a socially and environmentally conscious brand in that it has control over its production process from its very beginning, seeking to be and to follow the example of responsible business practices.
More, Kozii uses exclusively 100% natural eco-friendly fabrics with vegetable/ biodegradable dies and participates actively in the continuing revitalization of traditional textile skills.
