About us

Folkmona was born from a realisation,  the traditional fabrics of Cyprus were quietly disappearing. Not because people stopped caring, but because nobody was keeping them alive.

Founder Andreani Panayide grew up between London and Cyprus, trained in Lefkara lace, and spent years learning the crafts that shaped Cypriot identity. In 2023 she turned that love into Folkmona, a brand built on authentic Cypriot fabrics, woven by hand on the island by artisans who have spent their lives perfecting these techniques. 

Every piece is produced in small quantities, made to last, and rooted in a story that stretches back generations. This is fashion with a history.

From Cyprus, with love.
