Two words. One connection.

The land surrounded by water. The place the stories begin.

KIN

Family. Bloodline. Community.

The people who carry those stories forward.

Six of the ways this goes.

Every one of these came out of the same three choices: a body, a colour, and what goes on the back. None of them is a product sitting on a shelf. Yours would be the only one of its kind.

The archipelago

We are not from one island.

We are shaped by thousands.

Islands may be separated by water.
People are not.

Drawn, not surveyed. The names are the ones our kin give; the shapes are ours.

Your island.

One name, set large across the back, with the line this house is built on underneath it. The body and the colour are yours; the words under the name never change.

Anything goes here. A village, a street, a family name. If we cannot find the place, it is printed without coordinates.0/22

BORN FROM ISLANDS. BOUND BY KIN.

NUSA · ISLAND. HOMELAND. THE PLACE THE STORIES BEGIN.

KIN · FAMILY. BLOODLINE. THE ONES WHO CARRY THEM ON.

ISLANDS MAY BE SEPARATED BY WATER. PEOPLE ARE NOT.

This part cannot be changed. It is the piece.

04   The size

This blank starts at S.

Shipping is €7,00, free over €100.

This one carries a name you chose, so it was made to your specification and cannot be returned or exchanged. There is nobody else it could be sold to. If there is something wrong with the piece, write to us and we will put it right.

The sea separates land. Not people.

We come from islands.

Places separated by water, but connected by people.

Some of us still live there.

Some of us left generations ago.

Some know every road, every beach, every family name.

Others know the islands through stories, food, music, language and the memories of those before us.

NUSAKIN exists for that connection.

Not just where you live.

Where you belong.

Born from islands. Bound by kin.

One note that carries further over water than a voice does.
