THIS WEEK AT THE ATELIER
A monthly glimpse inside Sandilou’s Port-au-Prince atelier—where drawings become screens, color enters cloth, and every piece is finished by hand.
The Atelier Episodes
Small films. A closer look at the hands, colour and imagination behind Sandilou.
01 — HIBISCUS
From the first pull of ink to the final stitch, Hibiscus takes shape through sérigraphie, hand-painted color, cutting, sewing and pressing.
02 — MONSTERA
Inside the Sandilou atelier. The Monstera leaf design. Color in motion.

Inside the Sandilou atelier
The Monstera leaf design.
Color in motion.
In Port-au-Prince, a drawn line becomes color, the cloth meets water, and the motif begins to move. Every stage carries the hand of its maker.
The story continues.
Our next glimpse inside the atelier will appear here. New stories, at our own rhythm.
