Żela is my personal project for a handmade stuff, which is my another craze. It's about rats (BANDITOZ), moles and other "dirty" creatures. The idea behind Żela project was born a few years ago, but it wasn't fully precised until 2015.

I had some vision for it, but it didn't satisfy me. By the time my friend accidentally called me "Zela" and I thought that it's smashing and expresses me perfectly. I decided to use this name for my handmade project.

Story of choosing rats is very simple. Many people just don't like them, so I wanted to break the stereotypes and all those bad symbols given by the people to show that rats can be a nice creatures also.

Identity for the Żela Project is maintained in character of rats. I decided to use "dirty" and restrained colours for the labels and keep it in the mood of worn-out things.

The fabrics I use are also in the same tonality, slightly patterned and carefully selected to bring a tiny drop of sophistication for the whole creation.
