🐟A little word about the mollusk

The octopus is a very strange animal, often unknown and misunderstood. It is actually an extremely intelligent cephalopod with impressive camouflage abilities. Capable of changing color in a millisecond, it will perfectly mimic its environment, and in case of danger, it will flee, leaving behind a large trail of black ink. In terms of taste, it is also a delicious dish as long as the flesh is properly tenderized.

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.
