“Our printed merchandise has been instrumental in connecting us with our customers. So much so, we now consider them our community rather than our customers”
We were hired by Suzette, a Crêpe restaurant chain in London, to create their visual identity and create various items for their stores, such as staff uniforms, point-of-sale collateral, merchandise, and publicity posters.
A suite of print collateral was produced that reinforced their brand identity and kept a playful discourse with the customer, whilst also being disruptive and impactful. The staff t-shirts are now on sale to the public, due to customer demand!

Recent collaborations with Shiok Farm here in Singapore, have led to the production and sale of the ‘Plant a Tree’ mug series (they also produced tea towels). Archival style botanical drawings of the flora of Singapore printed on fine bone china. The concept was for every mug bought, a mangrove tree was planted in Indonesia, making a morning coffee more meaningful.
From a technical print perspective the challenge for this was to keep the balance of aesthetic and detail of the illustrations, whilst being practically reproducible at scale (i.e. not too detailed). The other challenge was to maintain colour consistency across the mugs themselves and the boxes they came in.
Collaborating with the client and the printers - using a solution of spot colours and CMYK blends, followed by print tests and prototype QC’ing - meant that the final product was delivered at scale with quality and consistency. To date, Shiok Farm have planted over 3,600 trees in Indonesia, partly thanks to this product series.
