atelier Sukha is a sustainable store for fair fashion and lifestyle, in the city center of Amsterdam. For fifteen years, we have been a place where craftsmanship is celebrated and joy in everyday life is found.
After years in the corporate fashion world, founder Irene chose a different path: not more, but better. Together with her team, she created a calm and connected space amid Amsterdam’s hustle and bustle on the Haarlemmerstraat—a place where small, meaningful things take center stage.
What began as a simple idea has grown into an urban family that cares for one another, for the neighborhood, and for the craft itself.
The name of our brand is at the heart of everything we do. Sukha, meaning ‘joy of life’ in Sanskrit, shapes our philosophy. We believe in creating a world where every item tells a story—one of fair production, natural materials, and thoughtful, timeless design.
In our shop, you’ll find timeless pieces made with love: sustainable clothing, handmade ceramics, furniture, art, and lifestyle products—all carefully chosen and designed to last. Our collection features unique clothing, handmade ceramics, and lifestyle brands that highlight different types of crafts and skills, all locally sourced and celebrated.
Most of our collection is created close to home, within Europe. One of our long-standing brands, FANT, even has its ateliers in Amsterdam. What began as a collaboration has grown into a close friendship. From a luxurious hand-knitted cardigan to handmade jewelry from Amsterdam, the world of Sukha bursts with craftsmanship and sustainable gifts.
At Sukha, traditional techniques are reimagined for the future. We want to show the true value behind these pieces and the work that goes into making them. All of our pieces carry a story, crafted by artisans who pour their skill and attention into every detail. When you know that someone has thoughtfully combined resources and skills to create something just for you, it changes how you experience it. A coat, a cup, or a scarf becomes something to cherish and perhaps one day pass on.
Sukha is a place to slow down, feel welcome, and experience a little moment of calm. Our team—Irene, Trijn, Margareth, Bien, Marieke, Bregje, and Sophie—brings the Sukha feeling to life every day.
