Comb crested jacana and sacred lotus
Jacanas are ungainly looking birds with enormous feet. Their very long toes allow them to nimbly navigate their way over water by walking on lily pads or other floating vegetation. They occupy tropical and subtropical freshwater wetlands where there is adequate surface vegetation for them to walk on. They rarely come to shore, feeding on aquatic insects, seeds and plants.
The male of the species is responsible for incubating the eggs and caring for the young. If they are threatened, he will pick the chicks up under his wings and transport them to safety, their huge feet dangling. The chicks, however, quickly develop independence and leave their male parent’s protection.
Sacred lotus are water plants native to the tropical north of Australia. With huge pink flowers and large pad shaped leaves, they stretch over billabongs and wetlands where they can get their roots into the mud. If conditions are unfavourable for germination, the seeds can remain dormant in the ground for hundreds of years, waiting for better conditions to regenerate.

glasses slip cases
Our glasses cases have a sturdy canvas outer printed with our own designs. They are fully lined and feature a padded layer to provide protection for your glasses cases while taking up much less room in your bag than a hard carry case.
They fit most glasses, being 10cm across and around 20cm tall.
They're durable and washable and customers report the fun bright prints make them easy to find in your bag.
Handmade with love
Every fabric used in our glasses cases is designed by Boo at Susurrus Studio in Darwin River, located an hour south of Darwin in the hot tropics of Australia. Boo draws much of her inspiration from her bush environment, especially the birds and flora of the Top End and across Australia.
The fabrics are printed with care in Sydney. When they arrive, Boo steps away from the design table and leans into the sewing machine to hand craft each item.
