After two cute kids, I have to admit, that I have done too many mistakes, when they were babies! I was breastfeeding both of them, but to be honest, only with my prince I was relaxed enough to feed him in public. With my princess I was always trying to be alone and this , I may say, caused so many awkward situations. For example, I was never going out for shopping or coffee or whatever, if my princess had to drink her milk. And I was spending too much hours inside home…not great at all!
Both of my kids were never enjoyed their baby car… especially my prince wanted most of the time to hold him and as you may guess, I was doing it! But again, without a help and by that I mean that I was caring him with my one hand and with the second I was doing housekeeping or whatever. Now? If you ask me I am stupid that I was not using a baby carrier and a nursery cover! I have created problems that were really stupid….and I also had problems with my back!
When I realized this? When I met Iro from Kitrino! I was looking for a plaid warm scarf and that’s how I discovered her. The scarf was amazing, I really enjoy it during Winter, but then I saw all of her creations and I was keep asking myself…why I didn’t know about all these???? Of course, just to excuse myself, I was the first with a child between friends, so the only advices I got were from my mother! But again, this is not an excuse. Iro is a lady with a beautiful imagination, who creates cute miracles about your baby, the mother and not only. Trust me, you are going to love her bags and her scarves and her baby holders and… just visit her blog and you will be thrilled!

I am a primary school teacher and a mother of three little girls. I started making things with my hands when I was in the age of my child , in the begging of the primary school. It was always a joy making cards, drawings, clay objects, jewelry etc. After the beginning of my university studies, I tried many new crafts and arts! My heart was drawn to making clay sculptures and sewing! After my second daughter was born , I started sewing professionally, at last! This is what was meant for me and what I really love…
The name “Kitrino” comes from the word kitrino which in greek means “yellow”. I was searching for a Greek word, that is neutral,which I can use as a brand name for a variety of things that I wanted to create. My creations do not fit in one category, so I never wanted them to be heard as something only for babies or mothers .
At that time, my second daughter was starting to talk and she adored the yellow color. She used to say “Kitrino, my color!” again and again all day long. So, that was when this color became the inspiration for the brand name of our family business!
I love handmade, because I feel really free when I am creating them. I adore having a large collection of fabrics, buttons, threads, laces .
The creations are made by my own hands, photographed by me and my customers can discuss anything they want about the object. I prefer buying only handmade things and especially presents from other people that make handmade things, for the same reasons.
When I go through times, such as for family or medical reasons, not doing anything with my hands, I really feel lonely, bored, and I search for a way to be creative again. Creativity and working with your own hands is a way of life and I am sure that anyone would enjoy finding an art for themselves!
