🐟A little word about the crabs

Sea fishing is primarily learned with both boots in the water, perched on a rock. That's how you start, small, digging in the mud, observing the low tide, and searching for your first crabs. Gathering on foot is also an opportunity for a good walk and to get to know your environment better. And when you spot the big claw of a large crab deep down in a rock, your heart races...

Born from saltwater and brushstrokes, Varek Illustrations is the story of two French brothers—Côme and Roméo—painters, fishermen, and lifelong dreamers of the sea. From the rocky shores of Île de Ré to far-flung coastlines, they capture the poetry of marine life with every hand-painted fish and shellfish.

At Esplora, we bring their vision to life through a curated collection of aprons, tea towels, and table linens—each piece printed with Varek’s signature illustrations and crafted in France with artisanal care. It’s coastal storytelling you can wear, gift, and gather around.
