Make it your own with Hēdonē
Hēdonē (Ancient Greek: ήδονή) is the Greek word meaning “pleasure.” In Greek mythology, Hēdonē is personified as a goddess of pleasure, enjoyment, and delight, as the daughter born from the union of Eros (personification of love) and Psyche (personification of the soul). More specifically she was associated with sensual pleasure.
The founder Dorothea Tomsits’ interest in clothing and fashion goes back to over a decade long experience in theater and opera stages of Volksoper in Vienna from her childhood. Before beginning her training as a clothing technician and fashion seamstress, she studied philosophy and archeology.
