Calista Crafts: The name Callista derives from the ancient Greek word kallos translating as exquisite beauty. This prominent brand is known for its unique leather creations which are produced using traditional techniques. Callista was originally founded in 2013 to breathe new life into an iconic accessory – the Tote bag. The designs are not affected by seasonality or trends, but rather encapsulate timeless elegance and exceptional quality. With extraordinary attention to detail and an unrivaled love of leather craftsmanship, each unique design is handmade by skilled craftswomen at our Athens atelier. With the utmost respect for natural materials, each Callista piece is created to be worn season after season, with a distinct beauty that never ages or fades.

As soon as you enter the homey space that is Ancient Greek Sandals flagship store, housed in a wonderful early-20th century building with blue swimming pool floor tiles evoking a high-end 1960s resort, you will embrace the “summer in the Mediterranean” concept that’s further enriched by the stunning view of the Old Parliament from the top floor. You’ll also find a wide range of Greek lifestyle products, including pottery, olive oil, soap, candles and books.

Kooreloo was born out of artist Leila Karr’s realization that the European chic style and the Mediterranean culture invited an unforced, if not natural, fusion. Each creation blends together the idiosyncratic modern personality of the artist with locally-sourced materials, traditional weave and luxurious, one-of-a-kind fabrics. Handcrafted with exceptional care, they are best described as works of art.
