Our story
Meshit began in Vienna, Austria in 2010. Founded by Lena Krampf and Ida Steixner, the brand offers high quality clothes that are considered, effortless, and timeless. Inspired by diverse cultural movements, the designs boldly play with ambivalences and norms, following the idea of merging contrasts. By creating artistic collaborations that blur the lines between fashion and art, the label has become an inspiring hub for photographers, painters, sculptors and other creatives.
After successfully showcasing designs at international trade shows throughout Asia, the US and Europe, meshit decided to turn its back on the fast-paced fashion cycle in 2018. Producing in small runs and projects rather than collections, allows the label to commit to an ethical and holistic approach. With a focus on sustainability, each piece of meshit wear is designed and developed in Vienna. While some items are still handcrafted in close cooperation with a small family owned-business and long term partner in the nearby city of Budapest, most meshit pieces are manufactured in Vienna.
With the launch of LARICHA, meshit has added a customizable clothing line to their portfolio. Working with dead stock and recycled traditional fabrics from Upper Austria, each LARICHA design can be personalized as per customer’s requirements. Exclusively hand-made at the Vienna studio, the project celebrates individuality and transparency.
Situated in the heart of Vienna’s 7th district, the meshit multi-brand store combines both retail space and creative studio. Featuring an in-store workshop, that allows customers a full insight into the craftsmanship and the production of garments. Following the principles of slow fashion, the team offers complimentary lterations, repairs and customizations for your meshit products.
