Bumbóg
Bumbóg is Irish for bumble bee.
The Bumbóg bag is made from Irish linen off cuts of the clothing collection & linen remnants.. This zero waste design is hand painted by Artist Ciara Tinney, two images from Wildkind, ‘The tide’ and ‘The dandelion Wild‘.
Co -Designer Edel McAvoy then draws with thread using free motion embroidery, inspired by artwork inthe wildkind book, creating a wearable, original artwork.
The Dandelion is one of the main native irish flowers a queen bee feeds from in early spring.
We have 100 wild bee species in Ireland and one third are threatened with extinction .
Perfect for bringing on a nature walk or hanging in a nursery or child’s bedroom, the high contrast black and white brush strokes help young eyes to focus, stimulating vision which studies have said help with cognitive growth.
Irish Seed Labels:
Labels are handmade from scratch, starting by making our native Irish seed paper. When planted these labels will grow into native Irish wildflowers and the blue flowers of the linen / flax plant. In turn helping the endangered wild bee’s of Ireland. The labels also feature artwork from theWildkind book.
By planting your label you can help save the wild bees of Ireland.

Material:
Linen is a natural material made from the flax plant, grown without pesticides and using less water than many other crops. Linen is naturally anti-bacterial and hypoallergenic, and has been known through the ages as a healing cloth. The hollow fibres of linen ensure good thermo regulating properties, so its breathable on a warm day and keeps the heat in when its cold outside. It is stronger than cotton and last’s for years and years, getting softer with age.
