Artemis
The idea for Artemis Design Co. was born on a trip to Istanbul in 2007 when designer Milicent Armstrong discovered and fell in love with Kilim carpet bags, Kilim shoes and accessories that were repurposed from the beautiful flat-woven textile. While attending Interior Design school, Armstrong made her way back to Istanbul, found an artisan workshop willing to work with her, and began production on her first run of products. These first pieces took the concept of repurposing Kilims and altered the designs to suit modern, classic shapes.
The first collection of products created from Kilims in classic modern shapes was an instant hit, and was picked up by renowned retailer Steven Alan. Artemis Design Co. has grown since and gained a cult following among world-renowned interior designers and magazine editors for its unique, one-of-a-kind, classic feel.
The brand is best known for its magical “Flying Carpet Shoes” — one-of-a-kind Kilim loafers and Kilim smoking shoes that are handmade from genuine Turkish carpets. Artemis has also created special collections with Charlotte Moss, Nate Berkus & Jeremiah Brent, MATCHES fashion, Anthropologie, Madewell, and United Arrows of Japan, among others.
