Welcome to the
Imbali Weaving Studio
Whether you’re here to browse, learn, or bring a touch of handwoven texture into your life—we're so glad you're here.
Imbali is a cultural storytelling studio based in Lavrio, Greece, dedicated to creating handwoven textiles that embody local traditions and narratives. By prioritizing sustainable production methods and supporting local artisans, Imbali fosters a sense of community while offering unique, eco-friendly products to environmentally conscious consumers.
At Imbali, weaving is more than a craft—it’s a rhythm, a heritage being restored, and a deeply personal expression of creativity. Every piece created here is woven with intention, care, and love—one thread at a time—using traditional techniques that honor the rich history of handweaving. Through this, we celebrate the cultural heritage of our host nation while embracing modern design.
Founded by Cecilia Sakatira, a weaver passionate about slow craft and natural materials, Imbali Weaving Studio grew out of a love for tactile beauty, intentional living, and the deep connections formed through handmade work.
Imbali is not only about weaving textiles—it’s about weaving stories. Stories emerge through every interaction: between the weaver and the learner, the customer and the craft, the studio and its visitors. Whether you come to purchase a product, learn how to weave on a frame or floor loom, or simply to explore, you become part of the fabric of this space.
From scarves and shawls, to wall hangings and home textiles, every item is one of a kind—crafted with meaning, care, and a touch of thoughtfulness.
​At Imbali we believe in:
Sustainability
Using ethically sourced fibers, often natural or hand-dyed, that are kind to the earth and to the maker.
Mindful Making
Creating slowly, intentionally, and with heart—ensuring each piece carries depth and durability.
Connection
Fostering a bond between maker, material, and you—because every piece carries a part of all three.
Every thread carries a story—and we would be honored to be part of yours.
