Miniature landscapes you can wear: The story behind the Santorini Collection

Miniature landscapes you can wear: The story behind the Santorini Collection

Every stitch has a story — here’s mine

It all started with a movie and a place that stole my heart.

When I was a teenager, I fell in love with The Big Blue. If I’m honest, it was mostly about the tragic love story (teenager, remember?) — but I was equally drawn to the breathtaking Greek island shown at the beginning of the film. I knew then that one day I had to go there.

Not long after, I saw that famous photo of Santorini — the brilliant blue domes, whitewashed buildings, and endless sea. That image stayed with me. Even through uni, when I almost joined a maritime archaeology trip to Greece that fell through, and through the busy years that followed, I kept the dream tucked away for “later.”

Life happened, travel plans shifted, and “later” kept moving. Until now.

As I approached my 50th birthday, I asked myself what would make this milestone truly special. The answer was obvious — Santorini. This year, I’ll finally stand beneath those blue domes that inspired me for so long, camera in hand and heart full.

Turning memories into wearable art

The Santorini embroidered landscape earrings and necklace were born from that lifelong dream. Each tiny stitch captures the colours and textures that have stayed in my mind for decades — the blue church domes, the white buildings glowing in the sun, the shimmer of the sea, and the hot pink bougainvillea climbing the walls.

They’re more than jewellery — they’re miniature landscapes, wearable art, and a love letter to a place that has inspired me since I was young.
