Embroidery is an art that has existed for centuries and Silvia Peligro, embroiderer specializing in miniature pieces, has taken as her the mission of preserving the techniques that have lasted to this day. Through his hand-embroidered creations, he has worked with important textile brands such as Coats and Gütermann.
