About
Contrust Collective Team

What happened when a minimalist jewellery designer encountered an exuberant digital illustrator? When a romantic illustrator met a dynamic potter and when, together, they met a handsome designer of leather accessories?
From such an unexpected encounter emerged our cooperative project of Contrust Collective, which finally found a home in the centre of Athens on December 2018.
With the motto "In Co we Trust" we design, manufacture and market our own products and aspire to give a different, collective response to the way we perceive production and trade as well as the relationship of the creator and final recipient.
You can meet us in our cooperative space at 10 Skoufou Street, Athens, or you can find our products in the online store.
