Astrea: a bridge between the past, the present and the future
“By forming a bridge between the past, the present and the future we work with textiles and objects to form a modern heirloom.”- Studio Astrea
This mission drives Studio Astrea in creating their beautiful handmade embroidered bedsheets.
Studio Astrea is based in Athens, Greece. In the Ancient Greek religion Astrea is the Greek goddess of justice, innocence, purity and precision. The name matches perfectly with the values and the themes of the handmade creations of the studio, celebrating slow fashion and respect of nature.
They create handmade embroidered homeware repurposing cotton and lace that are sourced from local communities. The embroidery and appliqué techniques used to create Studio Astrea embroidered bedsheets belong to the Greek craftsmanship heirloom. They believe in creating quality objects that are rooted in the past but designed to be long lasting and be passed onto future generations.
Every piece from Studio Astrea has a story to tell that talks about time, love, happiness and equilibrium. Their products have been photographed in gorgeous Greek settings, so let’s take a look at these handmade embroidered bedsheets with a view!

Besheets always require nice pillows to go with them. Studio Astrea Stargazer #1 hand embroidered cotton pillowcase is one of my favorite pieces. The dreamy little guy looking at the stars on top of the Greek column is too cute. This pillowcase is also hand made, embroidered with multi-color threads on a white pillow case.
