Apparently biscuits once came with quite a lot of visual ambition.
Found somewhere in Belgium, this stack of old cookie tins brings together tartan patterns, seventies flowers, faded metal, scratches and one very unexpected golf bag. Each tin seems to have arrived from a completely different world, yet somehow they all ended up together.
Red and green checks sit next to blue lines and tiny pink flowers. Psychedelic purple daisies appear beside rusty edges and dented corners, while years of cupboards, kitchens and attics have softened the colours and left their marks on the metal.
Nothing matches perfectly. Which helps enormously.
The patterns sit on top of each other like a small domestic archive. A bit Scottish, a bit floral, a bit sporty and a little confused. Together, though, they become strangely stylish. These tins were never meant to become interesting. They simply collected a little history along the way.
When translated into textiles, we kept that same mix of patterns and imperfections. Tartan, florals and worn surfaces come together in a playful rhythm that feels nostalgic without becoming too sweet. Graphic from a distance, full of tiny odd details up close.
A cookie tin stack proving that good taste and biscuit storage have not always been mutually exclusive.
