We are passionate about wooden crafts and sustainability
We grew up in a small village of Sicily that is not much touristic to make us earning something for all year and we did not have a stable job when in 2013 I decided to open this shop. I had a great chance to learn from my uncle how to make crafts and jewelry. All started when he gave me some colored fabric yarns purchased in a fair and suggested to make some necklaces. From October 2012 I never stopped to sew necklaces. It makes me feel creative and I am keen on it, even after starting a job as academic librarian in Malta, where now I live. I firmly believe in a sustainable environment and human capital and love the Etsy community.
As craftsman my uncle's work was dedicated to jewelry for long time, while recently his love for woodworking has become quite stronger. He started working on magnets then to other decorations for wall and desk inspired by the Mediterranean Sea and the Aeolian Islands, so close to our coast.

Every item we designed and manufactured is a single one. They are fragile items, shocks and extended use under sunlight could damage them and colors. All wooden items have a layer of varnish which protects them from moisture, but not water. Wear fabric items with caution and avoid pulling them excessively. You can wash them in cold water by hand using a little liquid detergent and then leave them get dry laying on a rack.

Additional policies and FAQs
We use scraps of cotton, jersey, stretch cotton, microfiber, acrylic fabric sold in large yarns, originated from EU countries. In particular, I purchase from a company that personally collects threads from textile factories in Northern Italy, for which it has the one-off availability of a color or pattern. When I go on vacation I like to buy few and take it with me. So far I went on vacation to Spain so the yarns I purchased come all from there. Here in Malta it has finally opened a shop where they sell them, even if there is no large supply. They all come from Portugal.
ENVIRONMENT
Since our shop is not yet a full time job, we cannot afford to rent a space for working-only purposes. So we work in a room of our flat, in an urban center. We don't have pets and don't smoke. When I finish, I store all yarns and jewelry in a dedicated wardrobe and drawers. Like clothes, yarn are damaged if exposed to light and open air. I don't like to waste time and energy, so I keep everything with particular care.
WRAPPING
I prefer recycling and saving money so you won’t pay a fortune for our jewels. So I use pages of magazines to make bags in which I pack orders, decorating them with colored raffia.
WASHING
It would be a good idea to wash your necklace or bracelet by hand from time to time. I suggest you to soak the jewel in warm water and very little liquid detergent (for synthetic textiles) for about 15/30 minutes. Rinse gently, squeeze just a little with your hands and leave it to dry on a drying rack not in the sun directly. Don’t forget to put an empty bowl underneath for dripping. Absolutely not to be put in the tumble dryer!
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
I recommend keeping the fabric jewels in a drawer, in a bag, or in a dry place without direct sunlight. Keep away from small children because they can be dangerous (like any jewelry). Like all fabrics, if exposed outdoors in the long term they become dusty, discolored and odorous.
