About Us

Pana started her designing and mixing colours in her father's handmade shoe shop from an early age helping her father to create his own quality designs during his 50 years as a handmade shoe and boot maker. Cordwainers College in Mare Street London, one of only three such colleges in the world, where Pana spent three years learning her trade as a full time student, becoming a fully qualified shoe and handbag designer. These years laid the foundation for the skills of pattern making and being able to produce with her own hands, from designing through to manufacturing, quality shoes and handbags.

Pana took up Patchwork as part of her natural desire to create and bring life to her many ideas. The shop started from her back rooms at her home in Limassol, where very quickly time and space became in short supply offering the opportunity to open her first shop in Limassol in November 1999. After two years of expanding the shop and its sales products, Pana opened her second shop next door to the present one, making a very large all-in-one shop adding restored furniture and Upholstery to her range, Please browse through our web site and enjoy our many handmade crafts items, all original designs, created and made right here in Limassol.
