Ch*nel once sent me a cease and desist letter because I got a local hand knitter to make some very obviously fake Ch*nel balaclavas as a joke. Well, that won’t happen this time, because our Stealth belt bag can’t be confused with any designer bag you have to hold with your hands.

We worked with S.K Works to produce this from the thickest and softest cowhide we could find. It has an incredible texture and visible grain that will wear beautifully with age. We went stealth mode, so all of the hardware is black, with the exception of the stainless steel buckle on the back. You can wear it high up on your waist (as pictured) or slung low on your hips.

The first batch of preorders went out this week, and there will be limited quantities available at launch. To be the first to see the new collection sign up to our newsletter. Link in bio. Keep your hands and your spirit free. Em x

Linen is a cosmic fabric, and we have done a deep dive over the last year. From visiting flax field trials, to chatting with growers, and visiting mills and weavers across Ireland (as you would expect, amazing chat and great snacks).
We have hundreds of samples in the studio, and have settled on two weights for our Pagan suit, a sneak peek shown here in lightweight grass green.

There are many incredible benefits to linen, but you must treat it with a magic touch. It requires a huge amount of patience and care to work with, but the results are beautiful.

We can’t wait to show you more.

Hi, Emily here. As you may have noticed, we have had a brand refresh with a new logo. Over the last few years the direction of my creative work has changed as my relationship with farming has deepened, and the new visuals reflect this. Analogue, simple, grounded. Back to the bare bones.
After the heady maximalist days, we hope to bring a sense of calm and functionality into your life. I’ll be sharing more about this in the coming weeks, but in the meantime, let’s get pagan. Em x
