TRIA ETC was born of the three co-owners’ love of Greece, and passion for all things authentic, unique and natural. Enamored with the local culture and people after a permanent move to Athens, the founders eagerness to find ways of promoting traditional Greek products led to the founding of the brand. Founders Tatiana Blatnik, Christina Filiagkouridou and Elina Sbokou had long harboured amazement for the beauty and quality of Greek artisanship, and were determined to find a means of supporting artisans locally, while enabling access to global markets.
