Our carefully illustrated fantasies, flourished with flora and fauna, are layered with quirky details and rich, muted tones.
Hand drawn by Abbey Stirling, then transferred to a digital platform to be coloured and customised for each product, they are then adorned on items including cushions, teatowels, cards and wrapping paper.
Inspired by her travels across the globe, from the lush tropics of Bali to the wild savannas of Africa, Abbey’s designs are always infused with imagination, mysticism and her own quirky style. A union of nature with the divine and the mystical, interweaving spirit animals, alchemy, myth and legend.
We make each and every piece in the UK using premium materials, always with quality craftmanship in mind.
Bringing fantasy to the functional, so that magic can be found in the everyday.
