Ieva founded the sewing company and named it “SERMĖGA” in 2005. She has been running her business since then until now.
This name is derived from the ancient Lithuanian folk garment – Sermėga. Sermėga (jermėkas, overcoat) – top women’s and men’s winter clothing, sewn of homemade woven fabric homespun (wool). Sermėga was modeled flared out down, to the knees and longer, tight at the waist, decorated with black velvet, fur or dark material.
