“We create not only garments but stories, modern heirlooms rooted in heritage.”
Karin Kämpf
As Visual and Art Director, Karin Kämpf shapes the brand’s identity with an eye for detail and a deep respect for craft. Her collections balance strength and softness, using natural fibers and clean lines to create pieces that transcend trends. Karin draws inspiration from traditional weaving, embroidery, and tailoring techniques worldwide, then reinterprets them for today’s wardrobe.

The Soul of the Atelier: Mauro

Every atelier has a heartbeat, at House of Woven Stories, that pulse is Mauro. While Karin shapes the vision of each collection, Mauro ensures that vision is realized with precision and soul. Acting as the bridge between creative direction and skilled artisans, he oversees every step of production in Piedmont, from sourcing raw fibers to finishing garments.

Mauro’s expertise is steeped in the region’s centuries-old textile heritage. Having grown up surrounded by mills and weaving workshops, he carries an intuitive understanding of fabric, drape, and craftsmanship. His relationships with Piedmontese spinners, dyers, and tailors are built on trust and mutual respect, a network that enables the House of Woven Stories to uphold its uncompromising standards.
“My role is to honor tradition while making sure it lives on in every stitch.” — Mauro
Through Mauro’s stewardship, the atelier achieves its defining quality: handcrafted garments made from the highest-grade Italian wool and natural fibers, ethically produced and finished with meticulous detail. He is not just managing production. He is preserving a legacy, ensuring that each piece reflects the integrity, sustainability, and artistry at the core of House of Woven Stories.

Piedmont: Where Heritage Meets Innovation

Situated in northwest Italy, Piedmont (“Piemonte” in Italian) is renowned for its rolling vineyards, Barolo wines, and white truffles. But it’s also a powerhouse of textile production. Towns like Biella have supplied the world’s finest fabrics for centuries, making the region a natural home for House of Woven Stories.

“Piedmont’s mills are the beating heart of Italian wool — centuries of knowledge woven into every thread.”

Here, access to the world’s best natural fibers and skilled craftspeople allows the brand to create garments that are luxurious, durable, and timeless.

Italian Wool at Its Finest

The label sources only premium Italian wool and natural fibers from ethical, sustainable producers. These fabrics are soft yet structured, drape beautifully, and stand the test of time, qualities that define true Italian luxury. By working directly with local mills, the brand guarantees authenticity and traceability at every stage.

How the Vision Comes to Life

Karin begins with sketches, mood boards, and global references, everything from ancient hand-weaving to modern architecture. Mauro then collaborates with Piedmontese artisans to translate these ideas into limited-edition garments. Patterns are cut with precision, fabrics woven with mastery, and details hand-finished to perfection. The result: clothing that feels modern yet carries the soul of tradition.

Sustainability at the Core

Small production runs and ethical practices minimize waste and honor the environment. Each garment is conceived as an investment piece, built to last and designed to be cherished, a conscious counterpoint to disposable fashion.

The House of Woven Stories Difference

“More than fashion, it’s a movement toward mindful style.”

In House of Woven Stories, every person behind the craft is celebrated, every material is chosen with purpose, and every design respects both heritage and the modern world. Through the synergy of Karin Kämpf’s creative vision, Mauro’s production expertise, and Piedmont’s textile heritage, the brand transforms clothing into timeless stories, garments to wear, love, and pass down.

Closing Note

House of Woven Stories proves that true luxury is about values as much as aesthetics. It’s about honoring the people behind the craft, respecting the earth, and creating pieces that stand the test of time, designed for today, with care for tomorrow.
