ABOUT US
Hoi! Hello!
NOORD LOOM – is a textile studio and creative space, founded in Amsterdam and now operating in Vilnius, where fashion, creativity, and nature meet.
We invite you to learn to sew, repair, upcycle and create – with more skill, freedom, and meaning!
We understand fashion not only as consumption but also as a creative process – an opportunity to get to know material, form, color, and to discover your unique style and confidence in your creations.
Together, let's rediscover the value of clothing – as a part of self-expression, craftsmanship, and more sustainable fashion.
About the founder
I am Elze van der Hart, the founder of NOORD LOOM.
For more than 15 years, I have worked in the fashion, textile, and creative industries – from producing garments for global fashion brands to sustainable design, innovation, and textile projects.
While studying at the Amsterdam Fashion Academy, I learned sewing, pattern making, and garment construction. Even then, I dreamed of creating a space where people could learn to sew simply, creatively, and without complex learning barriers.
This is how NOORD LOOM was born – out of a desire to provide people with a space for self-expression through fashion, and the ambition to contribute to a more sustainable future for fashion.
Our Philosophy
NOORD LOOM – House of Nature & Textiles
Here, fashion combines craft, creativity, nature, and meaningful time spent among like-minded people.
We invite you to:
- learn to sew, knit, and dye textiles
- repair and redesign your clothes
- discover your unique style
- enjoy a cup of coffee with a Dutch waffle
We believe that clothing can be not just a practical item, but also a form of self-expression, through which we create our style, our connection with the environment, and a more conscious relationship with what and how we wear.
Come by and tell us what clothing means to you!
