OUR STORY
RUTAGE is a hybrid fashion and design studio rooted in memory, material, and myth. It weaves together ancestral echoes, feminine craft, and contemporary sensibility through the creation of jewelry, garments, and visual compositions.
The studio creates garments, objects, and visual compositions that dwell between presence and disappearance - between what is worn, and what is simply witnessed. Each piece is both artifact and gesture: sometimes wearable, sometimes conceptual, always intentional.
RUTAGE is not driven by seasons or trends, but by rhythm, texture, and story. It is a slow studio - a living archive - where the past is not preserved, but reimagined.
ABOUT
NOFAR HATUKA
Nofar Hatuka is an artist, jewelry designer, and visual curator whose work offers a contemporary interpretation of tradition, identity, and femininity through visual creation, jewelry, and text.
Her practice emerges from a deeply personal and cultural investigation into questions of belonging, womanhood, and heritage - bridging past and future, and reviving what has been forgotten or silenced. Through a combination of text, ornament, and garment, she creates objects that are both powerful and intimate.
Hatuka is a graduate of the Visual Communication Department and was selected for an honors program that included an exchange at BAU School of Design in Barcelona, where she focused on print and contemporary design practices.
Her works have been exhibited in museums such as the Design Museum Holon and the Rishon LeZion Museum. She has received multiple sponsorships from the international brand Swarovski for her jewelry projects.
She is currently working on the publication of a visual book titled ״Yemenism״ - an artistic and cultural research project exploring the identity of Yemeni women throughout history, through contemporary design, documentation, and curation.
