In a world dominated by fast fashion, synthetic materials and industrially manufactured fabrics, Romana Brina Gobec is paving a different path with her creative vision. Her work, intertwined with natural dyes, sustainable principles and respect for the environment, is not just textile design, but true art. Her story is not just about fabrics, but about a philosophy of life that combines tradition, innovation and harmony with nature.
Romana is a graphic designer and economist by profession and was employed for several years in a multinational company before deciding to pursue her own business career. The affinity or idea for a major change in her life was already in her, but it finally emerged and took shape when she was on a six-month retreat in Mexico.
Romana didn't always know that her path would lead her to textile design. Her search began with a love for art, aesthetics, and nature, but she explored different directions for a long time before finding her true passion. Natural dyes have drawn her into their magical world since she first dyed a piece of fabric with avocado pits. Despite the uncertainty that accompanies every courageous step into an independent creative path, she followed her inner feeling that she had to create in a way that respected nature and its laws. Thus, Brinas Studio was born, born out of self-exploration, and blossomed with great perseverance and passion for sustainable design.
She has always been inspired by nature. From a young age, her hands skillfully explored materials, combining textures and colors, and searching for ways to create something beautiful and useful with minimal impact on the environment. This inner curiosity led her into the world of design, where she found her voice in naturally colored textiles.
Brinas Studio is not only a space for creation, but also a laboratory for researching ecological approaches to textile design. The natural dyes she uses are obtained from plants, soil and even waste materials, proving that it is possible to dye fabrics without harmful chemicals and artificial additives. Each piece created under her hands carries a story – the story of dyes that were once a leaf on a tree, a fruit peel or a flower in a meadow.
But her work is not just about technical mastery. In her projects, she also explores the influence of colors on human well-being and emotional state. Her creations are more than just visually appealing – they are harmonious, calming and intertwined with the energy of nature. This is reflected in both her fashion collections and decorative elements for the home, which breathe warmth and natural aesthetics into the space.
Her vision goes beyond creating beautiful products. She collaborates with diverse communities, raising awareness about the importance of sustainable design, leading workshops and educating on natural dyeing. Her mission is clear: to show that it is possible to live and create in a way that respects both people and nature.
Romana's work has not gone unnoticed. It has attracted the attention of many sustainable design enthusiasts and the media, who report with admiration on her innovative approaches. Every piece created by her hands carries a part of this story - a story of love for nature, respect for tradition and the courage to follow your own path.
Romana Brina Gobec is not just a designer. She is a storyteller through colors, fabrics and patterns. Her work is a silent but powerful statement that beauty and sustainability can go hand in hand. In a world where speed is often a value, her work reminds us that true wealth lies in slow, thoughtful and respectful creation.
