The deep sea, worn on the back.

Explore the collection
01

Painted, not printed-over

Every animal is an original watercolour study — soft washes, true colour, nothing generic.

02

A plate on the back

Common name, Latin binomial and field notes, laid out like a page from a natural-history folio.

03

Weight you can feel

Heavyweight combed cotton, boxy oversized cut, a large back print with a quiet mark at the chest.

The Collection

Nine specimens.

One plate for each creature — photographed where they belong, at the edge of the sea.

Folded tee on a rock
Tee on a hanger over the sea
The Garment

Built to carry the plate.

The illustration does the talking, so the tee is kept honest and heavy — a blank canvas cut a little oversized, printed with inks that sink into the cotton rather than sit on top.

The Study
/ˈlɪt.ər.əl/ — of the shore.

The littoral is the restless band between the tides — where the sea keeps its strangest company.

Littoral began as a field journal: a way to sit with the creatures most people never meet, and set them down the way a naturalist would — unhurried, in watercolour, with their names in Latin.

Each release is a small collection of plates. Some of these animals are threatened; a part of every drop goes back toward the waters they came from.
