The Dream
ESSENA is the manifestation of my childhood DREAM.
As a Young girl I would ask my mother who was a seamstress to change, rearrange and enhance clothes we had bought in the store to make them suit my personal style.
Well, that’s where the DREAM begun, the beginning of my passion for fashion designing.
ESSENA in Greek meaning is “YOURSELF”
The brand stands for everything you would wish for in a garment that is tailored especially for you ,
Our creative vision is for every woman who wears Essena signature pieces to feel as if it were handmade and tailored for them personally, Empowering women to feel fearlessly beautiful, unashamedly confident and proud about their inner and outer self, Inspiring women of all ages to feel Empowered to live their DREAMS….
the pockets
ESSENA started with a DREAM.
A DREAM of empowering, exploring and embracing the female spirit.
ESSENA garments have been personally designed with pockets to evoke comfort, strength and fearlessness.
Pockets are a central theme of ESSENA and each hold a reminder of the power of a DREAM.
“Empower the female spirit. Explore the pockets. Embrace the Dream…”
