Out of a black night of beads rises the Firebird — the fairy-tale bird whose feathers burn red, orange and gold, and whose single dropped plume, the stories warn, is enough to change a life.

A necktie beaded entirely by hand in Ukraine from glass seed beads — formalwear from a tradition where birds have always been the guardians of travellers.

A statement from the boldest chapter of our story. Arrives gift-ready.

The tale of this motif

Folk motifs carry meanings older than writing — poppies guard the home, wheat calls the harvest, birds watch over travellers.

Beads for the night side

Black glass has a long memory: Victorian mourning jewellery was strung from it, and a black-ground gerdan makes every red burn brighter. Our skulls, bats and serpents are beaded exactly like the poppies — the same seed beads, the same hands in Ukraine — only the motifs have changed.
