Ocean of Love: A Great Wave of Hearts for Tees, Hoodies and Mugs (and Gift Ideas)
A great wave, a golden sun and a sea of red hearts: the idea behind Ocean of Love, plus ways to wear it, gift ideas and care tips.
Some feelings are too big for a sentence. Ocean of Love skips the words and paints the feeling instead: a great curling wave, a low golden sun, and red hearts scattered across the sea and sky like something the tide brought in.

Ocean of Love | Unisex Crewneck T-shirt
from € 30,95
The print is a square painting in thick palette-knife strokes, in the spirit of the classic Japanese great-wave prints. Deep blues and white foam fill the foreground, the sky glows gold, and every heart is a glossy red. There is no lettering. On the Natural tote the white foam is not printed, so it takes on the soft colour of the cotton.
Why an ocean
Many traditions reach for the sea when they talk about love. Poets and mystics have long described divine love as an ocean without a shore, and each of us as a wave on it: different in shape, the same water. You do not have to be religious to feel the pull of that picture. Stand on a beach for a few minutes and most worries shrink back to their proper size.
We also like that the wave in this painting is not a threat. It is tall and strong, and it is full of hearts. Love can be like that too: bigger than you, a little overwhelming, and still the thing that carries you.
Ways to wear it
- Everyday tee: the classic unisex crewneck tee in 12 colours, from Kiwi and Gold to Orange and Navy, sizes S to 5XL.
- Cosy layers: the crewneck sweatshirt in 14 colours, the heavy-blend unisex hoodie in 12 colours with a front pocket, and the super-soft premium hoodie in Arctic White, Heather Grey or Deep Black.
- Warm days and yoga: the light jersey tank top in White, True Royal or Black.
- Out and about: the long-handled cotton tote bag in 5 colours, a natural beach bag, and the 11 oz ceramic mug with a coloured inside. Red picks up the hearts, Blue the sea.
The design also comes on a kids’ hoodie and a long-sleeve baby bodysuit, bright gifts for the smallest beach lovers.

- For yourself: the premium hoodie, for windy evening walks along the shore.
Made to order, on purpose
We print each piece after you order it. No stock piles up, and far less is thrown away. Allow a few extra days for it to reach you, and order a little ahead for birthdays, Valentine’s Day and the holidays.
Caring for your print
Turn garments inside out and wash them cool on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Tumble dry low or line dry, and do not iron directly on the print. The mug can go in the dishwasher and the microwave; a hand wash now and then helps the colours last. Wash the tote cold by hand or spot clean it, and let it air dry.
