MAKE LOVE NOT WAR
SAY YES TO WHATEVER GIVES YOU MEANING
eto YA* is translated ‘this is me’ in russian
anna madyarova is a russian-born founder of eto YA* studio. it offers thoughtful services and gifts that strive to spread the feeling of self-love, beauty and making every moment meaningful. our products are inspired by music, art, fashion, travel, fascinating cultures and people, and the sense of self-realisation brought by the process of creation.
every individual is unique, so are our gifts and artwork: a scarf that makes you feel like you are by the fireplace, warm and cosy; an artwork that speaks to you; a styling session that facilitates connection to yourself, a piece of unique jewellery that is a pleasure to wear. eto YA*... this is me!
