Background to the fire: The origin of pain

After recurring pain and a long odyssey of visits to the doctor, Antonia, then 20, was diagnosed with a benign 4 cm heart tumour. Her personal journey of hospitalisation and extensive surgery inspired her to create the Bad Stitches brand. The Bad Stitches brand was born not only out of a need to be creative, but also in response to a personal crisis. Crocheting became not just occupational therapy for Antonia, but a lifesaver during her health challenges. The brand reflects the brutality of her experience and the six stitches that left scars on her skin during the operation.

Thus, the unique name ‘6ad Stitches’ is defined as a profound meaning that goes far beyond the world of fashion.
