Ruby and I have always been drawn to old things. Antique furniture, timeworn books, paintings, delicate drawings… pieces with a past.
We love to sit with them and wonder.
Somewhere, someone once sat overlooking a garden or a quiet scene, and put brush to canvas or charcoal to paper. Who were they? How did they live? What did they dream of?
When we come across an antique table, we don’t just see the object — we imagine the hands that made it. The families who gathered around it. The meals shared, the stories told, the generations that passed by its edges. Who made that scratch? Who chose that colour? In what room did it sit?
Each piece feels alive with memory.
In art and antiques, we feel a connection to the past — to a slower time. A time to ponder, to create with your hands, to live more gently.
And it feels like many of us are craving that again.
A slower life. Time with friends. Time in nature. Time to make, to move, to simply be. You can see it in the quiet return to the handmade, the meaningful, the real — what some call “cottagecore,” but what feels, at its heart, like a longing for connection. To our roots. To something more grounded and beautiful.
Splash’d® was born from that feeling.
Our garments are lovingly covered in prints drawn from this rich history. They're all reflections on times past, celebrations of a moment, a place remembered, a reflection, a dream. They tell a story.
Each pattern tells its own story — and each of us hears it in our own way. We're each drawn to one that connects with us on some level. We encourage you to find a Splash'd® piece that resonates with you, one that feels like it might tell a story you'd like to hear. Wear it and share it with the world. Let's help 'splash' that beauty everywhere and bring back a remembrance of how it used to be.
Wear it. Share it.
Let’s splash that beauty back into the world — and bring a little of that slower, more meaningful feeling with us.
