Dark Academia

Original gifts and art for dark academia enthusiasts — people who romanticise libraries, collect annotated editions, have strong feelings about autumn, and think Gothic architecture is the only correct approach to university buildings. Our dark academia range features original illustrated designs rooted in the aesthetic: books and manuscripts, candlelight, classical motifs, the particular atmosphere of a very old building in October.

Dark academia is one of the few modern aesthetics that rewards both the visual and the intellectual — it's bookish and beautiful in equal measure. Our illustrated mugs, art prints, and tote bags are designed for people who want their objects to reflect that sensibility: considered, slightly melancholy, uncompromisingly tasteful.

All products are printed to order in the UK on quality materials. Mugs 11oz ceramic. Art prints 200gsm enhanced matte, archival inks. Tote bags heavyweight cotton canvas.
