We like embroidery
There is something honest about embroidery.
It demands patience, simplification, and attention to detail. From a distance, it looks like a small image. Up close, it becomes thousands of stitches building texture, contrast, and presence.
For us, embroidery feels less like decoration and more like drawing with thread—physical, tactile, and made to live with over time.

The Agnus Dei
The image embroidered on this hoodie comes from Agnus Dei, a painting by the Spanish artist Francisco de Zurbarán. It shows a young lamb lying with its legs tied, alone against a dark background. The composition is simple, quiet and almost without decoration.
In Christian tradition, the lamb represents innocence, sacrifice and Christ. Zurbarán painted the animal with great realism, but the image is more than a study of a lamb. Its stillness, vulnerability and dramatic light give it a powerful emotional presence.
Transformed into embroidery, the image keeps this balance between tenderness and severity. Removed from the painting and placed on an everyday piece, the lamb becomes a small, mysterious symbol—recognisable even without knowing its original religious meaning.
Made with a smooth 100% cotton face for crisp embroidery and a soft fleece-lined interior for warmth and comfort. Flat drawstrings, a front pouch pocket, and a tear-away label complete the garment's everyday design.

The Medieval Bat
This bat comes from the world of medieval bestiaries, books that brought together real animals, imagined creatures and religious ideas. The artists who made these images did not always draw from direct observation. Sometimes they worked from written descriptions, old copies or stories passed from one person to another.
That may explain the strange appearance of this bat. Its wings are open in a wide, almost symmetrical shape, while the face looks furry, human and slightly unreal. The animal is clearly recognisable, but its body seems partly observed and partly invented.
We do not know whether the artist had ever seen a bat closely. This uncertainty makes the image more interesting. It shows not only the animal, but also how people tried to understand something unfamiliar. As a tattoo, the bat keeps this mixture of reality, imagination and mystery. tattooJOURNALhere

Killer Rabbits in Medieval Manuscripts
The embroidered rabbit is based on one of the most unusual recurring motifs found in medieval manuscripts,
Like the bat, the killer rabbits come from the strange visual world found in the margins of medieval manuscripts. These small illustrations—often called drolleries—could appear beside religious texts, legal documents and books of prayer, sometimes with no obvious connection to the words on the page. Among hybrid creatures, musicians, knights and imaginary animals, rabbits frequently appear carrying weapons, hunting dogs and attacking people. tattooJOURNALhere

We like limited editions
Each piece begins with a long process of drawing, testing, translating, and adjusting.
We put too much attention into the image, embroidery, color, and construction to repeat the same object endlessly. Most pieces exist only once; others appear in very small editions.
For us, limited editions preserve the character of the work. They allow each piece to remain specific, considered, and slightly rare.
