Timeless Fashion collection


Some of the designs in the collection take over 300 hours to make.


But each one is created with the philosophy that a piece of clothing should be not only beautiful, but comfortable to wear as well.

A very wide variety of designs are included in the "Timeless Fashion" collection: heavy, woolen sweater coats with unique hand knitted boots; classic sweaters and cardigans, but with a modern outlook; attractive and unexpected approaches to suits and outfits; even elegant and extravagant evening dresses.

Matching accessories complement the designs and enhance the beauty of the patterns.


The "Timeless Fashion" collection presents a rich color palette, some combinations as contrasting as night and day, others as soft as the flowing greens and browns of nature.

The wide variety of yarns, ranging from the classics - merino and lambs wool, through the softness and warmth of mohair and alpaca, to delicate silk and the "fiber of kings" - cashmere, puts the accent on the one basic characteristic all hand knitted items share: individuality.

Designer Galina Dacheva latest collection will be shown in New York City as part of Couture Fashion Week, produced by USA International Fashion Shows, the runway presentation will be held at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, September 9, at West Side Loft, 336 West 37th Street (between 8th and 9th Avenues), New York, NY, USA.
