About
We make few things, and we make them slowly.
Santino Archive is an independent label built around form, fabric and detail. Each release is small, numbered and closed once it is gone.
Drop 01 is made for Imadaddin Nəsimi, the 14th-century poet and one of the founders of Azerbaijani poetry. In the Hurufi teaching he followed, each letter of the alphabet carried meaning. Thirty-two letters, thirty-two hoodies.
Each piece carries a patch that reproduces one numbered area of a carpet from the collection of the Azerbaijan Carpet Museum. When a piece is taken, its area is closed.
