5 out of 5 starsSuper well made and beautiful as well. My 14 year old just loves it - thanks! Their only complaint is that it’s scratchy on their neck.

5 out of 5 starsI absolutely adore this cape. The wool is heavy and high quality. No loose threads or sloppy seams. It's perfect. Nice and warm too. Why wear a winter coat when you can wear a cape?

Our photography is enhanced by the natural beauty of Maine. We're lucky to live in such a lovely place.
Chrononaut Mercantile
We have always been passionate about creating quality work, so that everything we make in our studio will be one of your favorite items for many years to come. Our friends who are kind enough to model for us and test everything that we create. If they look and feel awesome, we know we're on the right track. Everything we sell is either a vintage piece that we've fallen in love with or a unique piece which is designed and made by us in our studio in Maine. Just Heather and Jeff, from the designing all the way through each bit of the making.
The exploration of our imaginations has transported us from our home base in Portland, Maine, where beauty and gritty realism walk hand in hand, to fairy lands where magic and mystery dwell; the Middle Ages where chivalry and rivalry rule; pirate ships where daring and intrigue prevail; and the steam-filled world of the 19th century. Who knows where our path will lead us next?
