welcome, COATT





beautifully handmade by this family run design studio in Portland, these gold dots and dashes spell out words and phrases in morse code.  often it's the simple, yet clever, that captures our eye and this sums that up quite perfectly.  for the Coagans and Scharlatts, this is their labour of love....thank you.  we love your labour  ; )

currently available in the shop with grey and red silk cords, we have both the necklaces and the bracelets.  words such as; sos, friend, love, vancouver, carpe diem, forever, yes, and something.


in time for that lovey dovey day coming up in a couple of weeks...
