Founded in 2015, Enryhands was born from a journey that began in fashion, where the founder worked as a product developer, learning the value of handmade craftsmanship from tailors and the importance of detail from designers.

Her work blends timeless forms with the sensibility of fashion, as seen in the Raw Collection, where shifting silhouettes give rise to unique volumes.

Carola Castagna’s artistic journey began with life drawing and studies in artistic anatomy, which soon inspired her to explore three-dimensional forms.

Today, her work explores the evolving concept of beauty through sculpture. Drawing inspiration from the classical bust, she reinterprets the female face using a variety of clays, merging tradition with contemporary expression. Her creations reflect a multicultural reality, crafting imaginary faces that transcend a single origin. Each piece, rich in detail—especially in hairstyles and headpieces—emerges from the dialogue between material, hand, and a vision that evolves over time.
