My name is Beata, and I’m the person behind ‘Crave Stitch’.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been passionate about fashion – from a very young age, I was making my own clothes. Throughout the years, working for fashion brands, developing my businesses, and traveling around the globe I learned a great deal about fashion and garment making which inspired me to get back to the simple joy of just making clothes. And this is how ‘Crave Stitch’ was born – a pattern collection for the people, who want to craft their distinctive style, that would set them apart from the crowd.
As a young girl, I loved the creative process. As a teenager, I started getting into fashion by creating clothes for myself and my friends. After I graduated from the university, I decided to explore fashion even more and ended up working for Yves Saint Laurent. I was given first-hand access to see how their meticulous luxury goods were made. I was captivated by the level of care invested in crafting every single piece, and, most importantly, I discovered my immense appreciation for excellence.
This led me to create my first luxury bags and accessories brand that combined my loves in early 2013. Since then, this journey has snowballed into a creative odyssey that has spanned over a decade.
Over the years, I have created seven accessories and clothing collections and collaborated with highly skilled sample mechanists and pattern makers from around the world. I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside industry leaders and see my products manufactured alongside luxury brands.
I’ve traveled around the world and resided in 5 different countries across multiple continents. When I discovered Bali, Indonesia, what was initially intended to be a one-month stay turned into a year-long journey in this magical, creative sanctuary. Bali’s vibrant green rice paddies and the warm embrace of the island’s ocean provided boundless inspiration. The island became the wellspring of my creativity, the embodiment of tropical vibes, and the foundation for forging deeper connections with the people I encountered along the way.
I started to reform the bond with nature that I had as a child growing up outside Vilnius, Lithuania. I started to think about nature more and more – how each leaf is unique, and how fashion should be as well. I wanted to create something that takes nature into account, thinking about how it should be specific for the person, and how it should be more genuine, sustainable, and brave.
I firmly believe that fashion should not be disposable, and every piece of clothing should be seen as an investment – a garment with a unique story and a remarkable journey. I take pride in presenting a sustainable yet luxurious approach for women who aspire to create and craft their dream clothing. ‘CRAVE STITCH’ allows me to share my designs and allows every customer to make them uniquely yours.
I am honored to have created ‘CRAVE STITCH’ for home dressmakers and sewists worldwide, offering patterns tailored to various skill levels, from novice to seasoned experts. Sewing can be incredibly satisfying, and the sense of accomplishment when wearing your newly made dress makes people curious about where you got this piece from, and with a chuckle on your face you proudly say – “I made it myself”.
I hope my designs will inspire you to live your most remarkable life!
