Originally from Montréal and currently based in Amsterdam, Eloïse Ptito-Echeverria is a textile-apparel designer and the owner of Future Days Shop + Inner World Studio. Driven by intelligent print and ethical design, she possesses a particular penchant for textiles, embroidery, and colour. After completing her Fine Arts degree in 2011, she lived in Santiago, Chile for a year where she trained in Rococo hand-embroidery and Shibori. She also studied Precolumbian-Andina textiles at l’Universidad Catolica de Diseño.
All of these experiences have collectively impacted her aesthetic vocabulary, resulting in a heavily art-based design ethos that insists upon embedding her work with the empowering qualities of colour, the textile practices of her mixed heritage, and the emotional recycling of personal materials. Paying very little attention to current fads, her ultimate goal is to create soulful heirloom pieces that will be passed down, from daughter to daughter. She is a graduate of the Ryerson Fashion Design Program and was awarded Brettons’ Designer of the Year.
Her work has been featured in Selvedge Magazine, SWITCH Magazine, Textielplus, The Star, The Kit, Not Just a Label, Blanc Magazine, and more.
Past workshop & embroidery clients have included Selvedge Magazine, Nike, Levi’s, EDITED, and more.
In June 2024, she opened the concept store Future Days Shop and the textile workshop studio Inner World Studio with the desire to bring others together through the slow yet undeniable power of colour, craft, and sound.
