Our Story

Alina Zilberman

Alina Zilberman

Owner, Fashion Designer

The journey of Shantima is a testament to transformation, creativity, and the courage to follow one’s heart. It began with our founder, Alina Zilberman, who made the bold decision to leave her career as a programmer in Tel Aviv to seek a life of deeper fulfillment. Her path led her to India, where she spent three inspiring years exploring the country’s vibrant culture and spirituality.

In India, Alina discovered the joy of creating. Her newfound passion for natural fabrics and sustainable living ignited a desire to design clothing that aligned with her values. With no formal training, but guided by intuition and determination, she began a journey of learning and crafting that would evolve into the Shantima brand.

Returning to Israel, Alina brought her vision to life. In 2012, Shantima was born—a name inspired by the Sanskrit word “Shanti,” meaning peace. This word captures the essence of the brand, embodying tranquility, balance, and freedom. Alina’s philosophy is simple yet profound: “Follow your heart, and it will show you the way to your true self.” Her story reminds us that listening to our inner voice can lead to remarkable discoveries and authentic living.

Shantima’s creations are more than garments; they are an invitation to embrace simplicity, comfort, and mindful living—values woven into every fiber.

Our Philosophy

We believe in “free breathing”—a philosophy that connects comfort, movement, and sustainability. Our relaxed cuts and 100% natural linen fabrics are designed to liberate, allowing you to live and breathe freely. Every garment is a testament to intentional living, offering simplicity and balance in a fast-paced world.

Why Linen?

Linen is at the heart of Shantima. This remarkable fabric offers:

  • Breathability: Perfect for warm weather, allowing air to flow freely.
  • Hypoallergenic Properties: Gentle on sensitive skin and naturally anti-bacterial.
  • Moisture Absorption: Keeps you dry and cool with its high moisture-wicking ability.
  • UV Protection: Provides natural protection against harmful UV rays.
  • Sustainability: Linen is eco-friendly, requiring minimal water and pesticides to produce.
  • Therapeutic Effects: Some studies suggest that linen may have therapeutic effects on various health conditions. Linen clothing and bedding have been associated with improved sleep quality, reduced stress levels, and enhanced overall well-being.

Timeless and versatile, linen connects us to nature and supports a mindful lifestyle.
