Our Story

Chapter III · Our Story

Art begins with earth. Umber is the name of the pigment that made some of our first marks; ground from soil and pressed on rock, we decorated our houses into homes. We aim to make you feel at home in our decorated, comfy clothes.

From story to stitch.

Our Craft

Chapter VII · Our Craft

Made ethically and sustainably in Portugal, our mixed-medium approach combines traditional print with embroidery. We tell the artist's painted story through thread, adding a tangible depth to the designs. Every stitch is considered, every detail enhanced, every shadow remembered.
