Nature has in itself countless interesting stimuli and secrets that often surprise children and us adults. Therefore, it is a pity that we have not spent enough time in nature recently. The collection On a Branch aims to motivate children to discover our „true wilderness“. Therefore, this work is inspirated by the crops that we can meet at every step. The main „heroes“ of the collection are a hazelnut, a rosehip and chestnut. These motifes are simlified and made into designs of shoes and haberdashery accessories. A crutial element is the moment of surprise. When putting on shoes or opening pockets, the faces of the mentioned heores peek out at children. The products are decorated with embroidered details that represent the shapes of the leaves of the plant.
