Selkie “Freedom” Wearable Art
Wear Your True Self
A one-of-a-kind hand-painted and embroidered denim gilet inspired by the Selkie – the mythical seal-being of Irish and Scottish folklore who sheds their skin to walk on land, but can never forget the call of the sea.
The Selkie symbolises transformation, freedom and the courage to return to your true self. Created to be worn like armour, this piece is a reminder that you never have to lose who you are to belong. Your true nature is always there, waiting to be reclaimed.
