Not for once, but forever… We love the idea of re-using stuff. Choosing re-usable textile napkins and gift wrapping is a great way to reduce waste. If you’re shopping for your ultimate holiday outfit, opt for something you can wear more than once. Something that suits you, something you’ll love. Shop our website for high-quality clothing. […]
STORIES
We believe that people are no solitary creatures; we are connected with our environment. The story goes that alchemists were in search of the formula for making gold. They wanted to transform the mundane into something exquisite. By fusing together different substances, they hoped to create the most precious material in existence; gold. At Alchemist, we pursue that same dream and believe that alchemy will occur when different elements come into contact with one another.
“We aspire to inspire, not to dictate. Because beautiful clothes feel right.”
Alchemist finds her inspiration in the stories of women and their environments. Unique, passionate, and genuine; each of these women tells a story about craftsmanship and dedication, all in their very own way.
