The person behind kurelu is Angeliki Genitsaridou!She grew up literally amongst the looms of the women of her family and she cherished their rhythmic song. She studied decorative arts at the Technological Educational Institute of Thessaloniki, worked as a decorator for several years and then decided to return to her roots …! Her childhood experiences, her modern way of “ look and feel” and the colourfu cotton rags imported from abroad, are all woven in her looms.
