🐟A little word about the fish

These two fish are highly sought after by lure anglers in freshwater. Originally imported from the United States, the Black Bass has joined its little sister, the Perch, in a large number of lakes, ponds, and rivers in France.

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.
