maps

I love maps, atlases and vintage books. We have a secondhand bookshop in Hermanus with the most amazing books. I found this atlas and couldn't resist buying it, even though it is moth eaten and discolouredMost inspiring colour combinations.

Dedication in the front of the book. Although this was written over 50 years ago, it still rings true for today.


This map bag, inspired by the atlas purchase, has already been sold and is living happily in the U.S.A
This is a tea towel specifically designed for Hermanus, combining the map idea with the stylized whale shape.
