Welcome to our shop. We offer conscious fashion made from traditional textiles by local artisans. Our pieces are often "Made to Order" to avoid overproduction. And we use leftover fabrics to have zero waste. The fabric, clothes and accessories are manufactured in Ghana, Burkina Faso, Mali, America, Europe and Denmark. The collections are designed by me, Lene in Denmark.

Let me introduce myself. I am the founder and designer of The Text Style, and opened my Etsy shop in 2015. With an educational background of Middle Eastern Studies and Ethnology from Aarhus and Copenhagen University, I studied in northern Africa for a year as a young student. Having lived abroad and seen the beautiful textiles first hand, I had a desire to make them into clothing for the urban consumer with a scandinavian design philosophy. A journey to Ghana some years later, where I met a skilled tailor in Accra, made this vision possible.

As a young student I was also an activist in the fair trade movement in Denmark from the beginning of it. Caring for both people and planet is the foundation of all my activities. When I am not busy with The Text Style, I spend time with family and friends. I love going out for brunch or concerts and travelling to warmer countries like Ghana or France socializing and learning.

I hope you will find a small piece of happiness enriching your home. Under each product is a full description on how it was made. From our hands to yours... A warm welcome in our shop <3
