About Us
 Eskpade are embroidery applied products by Kristine Hakim.
She finds inspirations from traditional crafts, arts and historical costumes during her travels, that she calls her little "escapades". By fusing the traditional techniques and contemporary art, she creates a new perspective on embroidery and handworks. Her philosophy of creation focuses on the process because it is through it that one is able to escape reality and explore our inner soul where we can find truth and peace within ourselves. Each piece is unique and delicately handled from the fabric to the finished product, focusing on details and quality. The creation of every piece is an experience that she hopes to with others.
