Ilio Nema
Ilio Nema was founded by Ariane Leondaridis and Katia Kelso. Their shared passion for artisanal craft was forged when they worked collaboratively in New York as Design Director and Production Director. The brand’s ethos is to counteract trend-based consumption by reintroducing timeless and traditional craftsmanship to modern life.
Ariane and Katia travel the globe to source the most beautiful, artisanal traditions and celebrate the communities who have preserved their heritage for generations. Each garment is made to be nurtured, mended, and loved forever.
