About VIKA — Handmade & Sustainable Fashion

What is VIKA?

VIKA is a handmade jewelry and sustainable fashion brand inspired by nature, individuality, and slow creation. Each piece is thoughtfully crafted using natural materials and small-batch processes, celebrating imperfect beauty and authenticity.

Who is VIKA for?

VIKA is for women who value handmade fashion, ethical production, and pieces with meaning. For those drawn to bohemian aesthetics, natural textures, and slow fashion over mass-produced clothing.

Are all VIKA pieces handmade?

Yes. Every VIKA garment and jewelry piece is handmade from start to finish in a small studio using slow, intentional techniques.

Are VIKA pieces one of a kind?

Many VIKA designs are truly one of a kind, especially eco-printed clothing and jewelry made with natural stones. Even similar designs will never be exactly the same.

Materials & Sustainability

What materials are used in VIKA products?

VIKA works with natural materials such as linen, silk, leather, ceramic, wood, and semi-precious stones. Many garments are created using eco printing and botanical dyeing.

Is VIKA a sustainable fashion brand?

Yes. Sustainability at VIKA focuses on natural fibers, low-impact processes, small-scale production, and creating timeless pieces designed to last.

What is eco printing and botanical dyeing?

Eco printing is a natural dyeing technique where plants leave their imprint directly onto fabric. Each print is organic, unpredictable, and unique.

Why does my item look slightly different from the photos?

Because VIKA uses handmade techniques, eco printing, and natural materials, small variations in color, pattern, and texture are natural. These differences are a key part of handmade and sustainable fashion.

Care Instructions for Handmade Clothing & Jewelry

How do I care for eco-printed or naturally dyed clothing?

We recommend gentle hand washing or a delicate cycle in cold water with mild detergent. Air dry and avoid harsh chemicals to preserve natural colors and textures.

How do I care for handmade jewelry?

Avoid water, perfumes, and chemicals. Store jewelry separately and handle with care to maintain its natural beauty.

Will natural dyes fade over time?

Natural dyes may soften gently with time. This is part of the living nature of botanical dyeing and adds character to each piece.

Sizing & Fit

How do I choose the right size?

Each product page includes a size guide. If you’re unsure, feel free to contact us for personal guidance.

Why are many garments oversized or relaxed?

VIKA clothing is designed for comfort, movement, and ease. Relaxed silhouettes reflect the philosophy of slow fashion and natural living.

Shipping, Packaging & Returns

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, VIKA ships worldwide. Shipping options and delivery times are shown at checkout.

Is your packaging eco-friendly?

Packaging is kept minimal and as eco-conscious as possible.

Do you accept returns?

Because many items are handmade or one of a kind, returns may be limited. Please contact us before purchasing if you have questions.
