ANCIENT: Egypt and Greece, Reborn

ANCIENT: Egypt and Greece, Reborn

Some art is too old to belong to any one of us, and too alive to leave in a museum. Our ANCIENT collection begins there: with the cats, gods and glyphs of ancient Egypt, and the letters and figures of ancient Greece, reimagined as original illustration.

Every ANCIENT piece is drawn in our Hong Kong studio, then printed on washable kraft paper, a material that feels almost as old as the art it carries. It is lightweight, warm to the touch and quietly textured, yet water- and scratch-resistant enough for a life spent in pockets and bags.

The result is a wallet or case that looks unearthed rather than manufactured. It is a small piece of antiquity, made to be used every day.
