A new era is beginning in the JKH world—one where I am bringing cultural heritage from the wardrobe into the home, allowing it to become a part of your everyday life. This capsule collection serves as an introduction to the JKH universe, composed of fragments of everything yet to come.
The archive pattern originally created for the Autumn-Winter 2022 collection. Why this specific pattern? Because it is timeless, it carries the essence of Slovenian identity, and it hides within it the national tricolour and symbolic messages.
However, this collection isn’t just for the home.
I have also added a jacket—a special, unique piece for the transition between seasons. It is crafted from 100% cotton gabardine, the high-quality material used for classic trench coats. This lined jacket features a hidden heart patch on the inside, a gentle reminder of love—for oneself, for others, for nature, and for heritage.
March has opened its doors with sunshine, bringing with it International Women’s Day, Mother’s Day, Gregorjevo (the Slovenian festival of love), and soon, Easter.
Within the collection, you will also find the first JKH mini piece: a keepsake bunny. It is sustainably crafted from the fabric remnants and filling left over from the capsule collection. But the most beautiful part is the story the bunny carries.
Our Ancient Slavic ancestors had a unique custom regarding new life. An expectant mother would create a toy that would sleep with the father for a while—it was believed that men possessed protective powers. The toy would thus absorb this protection, and when the baby was born, it was placed in the cradle to guard them.
And speaking of new life… did you know that pirhi or pisanice (traditionally decorated Slovenian Easter eggs) carry this exact symbolism?
Our ancestors offered colored eggs during the solstices. Christianity later adopted this tradition and integrated it into Easter celebrations. However, decorating pisanice with motifs is more than just ornamentation—every symbol carries its own meaning. For our ancestors, these designs held magical power:
- Sun Symbols: Representing the power of the sun and the solar cycle that brings new life.
- The Tree of Life: An eternal symbol of the connection between three worlds—heaven, earth, and the underworld.
- The Eight-Pointed Star: A symbol of luck and happiness.
- The Rhombus: Representing cultivated land or a nest.
- The Cross: One of the oldest symbols, representing the four cardinal directions and the four seasons.
Colors also play a vital role:
- Red is the color of the sun and love.
- Black provides protection.
- White symbolizes purity and birth.
- Blue represents the sky and the wind.
This capsule collection opens a new chapter in JKH identity—a tribute to Slovenian symbolism, respect for nature, and the rhythm of the solar cycle. It is an invitation to a gentle transition into spring.
Kapsulna kolekcija / ARHIVSKI VZOREC: PISANICE
V JKH svetu se začenja novo obdobje, v katerem kulturno dediščino prenašam iz garderobne omare tudi v dom, da lahko zaživi kot del tvojega vsakdana. Kapsulna kolekcija je uvod v JKH svet – sestavljena je iz drobcev vsega, kar prihaja.
Ponovno je zaživel eden izmed vzorcev iz ARHIVA, ki je nastal za jesensko-zimsko kolekcijo leta 2022. Zakaj ravno ta vzorec? Ker je brezčasen, ker nosi izraz slovenske identitete in ker v sebi skriva trobojnico ter simbolna sporočila.
V kolekciji pa ni vse namenjeno le domu.
Dodala sem tudi jakno – poseben, unikaten kos za prehodno obdobje. Jakna je izdelana iz 100-odstotnega bombažnega gabardena – materiala, iz katerega nastajajo tudi klasični trench plašči. Podložena jakna v sebi skriva tudi našitek srca, ki te opomni na ljubezen – do sebe, bližnjih, do narave in dediščine.
Mesec marec, ki nam je sončno odprl vrata, prinaša praznik žensk, materinski dan, gregorjevo – slovenski praznik ljubezni – in kmalu tudi veliko noč.
V kolekciji pa najdeš tudi prvi JKH mini kos – spominskega zajčka. Izdelan je iz ostankov materialov, ki so nastali pri šivanju kapsulne kolekcije, tudi polnilo. Najlepša pa je zgodba, ki jo zajček nosi.
Naši staroslovanski predniki so imeli ob novem življenju poseben običaj. Nosečnica je izdelala igračo, ki je nekaj časa spala z očetom – verjeli so namreč, da imajo moški zaščitniško moč. Tako se je igrača navzela zaščite, ko pa se je otrok rodil, so jo položili v zibelko, da ga je varovala.
In ko smo že pri novem življenju … ali veš, da imajo pirhi oziroma pisanice prav to simboliko?
Kuhana in pobarvana jajca so naši staroslovanski predniki darovali ob sončnih obratih. Kasneje je krščanstvo to tradicijo prevzelo in jo preneslo v praznovanje velike noči. Okraševanje in slikanje pisanic z motivi pa ni le dekoracija – vsak simbol nosi svoj pomen.
Za naše prednike so imele poslikave čarobno moč. Najpogostejši so sončni simboli, ki kažejo na moč sonca in spoštovanje sončnega cikla, ki prinaša novo življenje.
Drevo življenja je večni simbol povezanosti treh svetov – neba, zemlje in podzemlja.
Osemkraka zvezda je simbol sreče.
Romb predstavlja obdelano zemljo ali gnezdo.
Križ – eden najstarejših simbolov – pa predstavlja štiri strani sveta in vse letne čase.
Pomembno vlogo imajo tudi barve.
Rdeča je barva sonca in ljubezni.
Črna prinaša zaščito.
Bela simbolizira čistost in rojstvo.
Modra predstavlja nebo in veter.
Kapsulna kolekcija tako odpira novo poglavje v svetu JKH identity – poklon slovenski simboliki, spoštovanju narave in ritmu sončnega cikla. Je vabilo k neženemu prehodu v pomlad.
