About the Factory

 

Kalestesia was the first of ESTHÉ’s family-owned manufacturing premises and now serves as the network’s headquarters. It is located in Northern Greece, a region with the country’s longest history in textile manufacturing and hometown of Ouzounides family – the founders of all ESTHÉ factories and the brand itself.

Today the company consists of a highly skilled team of professionals and inspired creatives, while the owners’ ubiquitous attendance, dedication and genuine attentiveness across all operations creates a family-like working environment.

Factory Specialty

 

Kalestesia quickly became one of the most respected European suppliers in the ready-to-wear industry, counting collaborations with dozens of the most renowned retail companies worldwide.

This is where most of the network’s research, product development and materials quality control takes place.

Moreover, all new manufacturing techniques are tried out and tested in Kalestesia, while the premises also include a micro dyeing testing lab, a graphic design department, a selected sewing and pleating team and of course an experienced team of pattern makers.

Kalestesia specializes in locally sourced fabric development, especially in jersey-wear, so this is where most of ESTHÉ jersey tops, bodies and other garments are made.

Finally, every ESTHÉ garment is sent out for delivery from here, since Kalestesia manages all of the brand’s logistics.
