THE MAKING OF EKNA INTIMATES

The Making of EKNA Intimates.

The making of EKNA Intimates is an alchemy.
We think of ourselves as a multi-cultured backyard with a root in liberation as our compass.

Woman made and woman owned.

Each carving, every stitch was directed and made by a woman.
Mostly, mothers.

Motherhood is the highest alchemy of sexuality.
Not often seen that way.

Creation is the root of sexual energy.
Creating life, creating lingerie, in unity.

Supporting EKNA Intimates is supporting the mothers in our community.

EKNA Intimates was birthed and brought to life in the magical land of Bali, Indonesia.
Adorned by spirits and nature as guide for our creations.

Our fairy

RENATA

The hands of the craft.

Renata is my fairy. She brings my designs to life with a wave of her wand. (If only it were that easy!).

We've shared countless trials and errors together in her studio.

Late nights. Reconstructing the foundations of how lingerie is made.

Each piece revealed its timeless beauty to us.

Renata and her team, her backbone as she calls them, the Putu family work together. Cutting and sewing, bringing life, love and quality to our Lingerie.

THE PUTU FAMILY

BALINESE HANDS

The PUTU family is a wholehearted Indonesian family from Bali who dedicated themselves to the journey of EKNA Intimates.

Mrs. Putu, mother of 4 kids hand makes your lingerie with the help of her husband & family.

Finally, the glue. The link that connects.

A deep thank you to the collaboration with OURSDESIGNS.

A dear friend of mine, powerful artist & mother of the sweetest boy, Elfynne designs the EKNA woman’s body piece that rests on the heart and womb.

The body piece is adorning our garments, intentionally made to support your journey with her brand value “Elevating souls through adorning bodies.”

MORE ON OURSDESIGNS.

The reason I connect so deeply with jewellery, apart from being from a very thick Indian heritage culture that respects the royalty of jewellery on a woman’s body, is the meaning it gives us from the energy stored in each piece.

This is why I believe the source is so important.
It has the same grounding power as lingerie does for our sexuality.
With it’s ability to take you higher and deeper into yourself in other ways.
It’s very spiritual.

I have respect for the art.
Elfynne herself handmakes each project with love and energy.
She brings to life a forgotten craftswomanship that is rare to come by today.

It has been an honour to vibe and merge Jewellery and Lingerie as a significant part of a woman’s journey.

The creativity, skill and love that goes into each creation is something I will always be inspired by.

This was a highlight and stimulant for the art process for me.

YOU ARE OUR HEART.

In completion of the creation...
Making isn’t only by the active hands and physical process.

The spark of how we are created is in the unspoken, it is in feeling, where when we tap into in our hearts.

There is no making without the heart.

The pump of blood and flow into who we are.

There is a frequency that is for us. You. Me. A unity.

I want to thank YOU for being here, for making the order, for choosing yourself.

We are ultimately only us. With you and each purchase, share, support is in process of the making and heart of EKNA Intimates.

You are our heart.
