Brigita Stroda is a proud Latvian. Raised in Australia from Latvian parents and based in London for most of her adult life, she only moved to Riga when the time came to achieve her lifelong dream: to make bespoke Latvian traditional crowns.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou won\u2019t be able to do a real Latvian crown in an hour in a half\u201d, she warns us as we start poking in the heap of craft supplies laying on the dinner table of her spacious apartment turned into a workshop studio for the occasion. Indeed, one crown takes several hours to make and require many skills from sewing to working with wires in addition to a creative mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring midsummer, women and children walk into the meadows and pick flowers to make their own wreath. It\u2019s a ritual\u201d, she explains. Today, her Lastroda crowns composed of crystal beads, ribbons and precious fabrics are worn by local influencers elite and models in fashion magazines. It\u2019s becoming quite \u201ctrendy\u201dshe says. Below is my personal creation and if you swipe to the right you will see a bespoke one by Stroda;<\/p>\n
