✧ About Tied Fates ✧
Tied Fates is a love letter to the quiet magic that lingers in the every day - morning coffees, handwritten letters, flickering candlelight, and stories passed down like spells.
Born from a longing to slow down and reconnect with the threads that weave us to nature, memory, and myth, Tied Fates creates objects that feel like relics from another world.
Each piece is crafted to evoke a sense of belonging - not just to a place, but to a feeling. Whether you are a forest dweller, an occult scholar, or a wandering witch, Tied Fates is here to offer you tools for reflection, ritual, and wonder - all while championing gentle living and the magic of handmade.
The Tale So Far
It all began with a handful of spellbound pages - a collection of slim notebooks, stitched together in a cold bedroom at university. In the summer of 2021, thicker tomes joined the fold, and by the turning of the next year, our shelves had welcomed pocket-sized journals, hardcover grimoires, and more illustrated relics made for wandering hands.
In 2023, enchanted notepads and shimmering chain bookmarks appeared - the latter becoming a treasured talisman for many a journaler. And by 2024, the realm of Tied Fates had truly blossomed: paper garlands fluttered into being, sticker sheets and washi tapes began whispering stories of their own, and small enchanted trinkets made their debut.
Everything - from the first thread of bookbinding to the winding path of running a business - has been conjured through self-teaching, research, and many trials. Tied Fates is a living spell, always evolving, stitched with love, curiosity, and a deep-rooted desire to share gentle magic with those who seek it.
Where We Stand Now
Today, Tied Fates remains a small yet spirited cottage of craft - a one-witch operation with roots in the everyday and branches stretching quietly across the globe. Our spellbound wares have found their way to journals, altars, and cozy desks in nearly every corner of the world (we’re still awaiting our first Antarctic order - perhaps there’s a penguin somewhere with a penchant for washi tape?).
Though I often say “we,” the coven behind the curtain is, in truth, just me - drawing each illustration by hand, trimming edges, and carefully wrapping your parcels like tiny offerings. Every step is intentional. Every piece is made with care, from one kindred spirit to another.
Tied Fates has always been more than ink and paper. It’s a world - a pocket realm for those who crave gentle magic, slow stories, and the quiet wonder of folklore and forest paths. With every launch, whether it’s a notebook, a paper pack, or one of our seasonal tales like Forest Dweller, I try to share a fragment of that world with you.
To all who have wandered through these pages - thank you. You are the reason this spell still stirs and grows, and I can’t wait to see what enchantments lie ahead.
Looking to the Horizon
The path ahead for Tied Fates glimmers with possibility - not in flashes of grandeur, but in soft candlelight and dreaming. There are whispers of growth in the wind, ideas stitched between the stars, and a deep-rooted belief that slow magic can change everything.
One day, I hope to open a flagship shop. A tucked-away haven humming with quiet wonder: shelves filled with enchanted ephemera, corners made for journaling and tea, and tables where kindred spirits can gather to make, rest, and reconnect with their own inner magic. A real-world portal to the forested realms I conjure in ink and lore.
The vision stretches beyond stationery too - toward textiles that feel like heirlooms, illustrated homeware, and objects of quiet joy: perhaps a hand-stitched patch, a spellcrafting tool, or a tote bag that feels like a companion on your daily quests. Each piece will be made with slowness and soul - a fragment of the story we’re telling together.
And as this dream unfurls, I hope to build it in rhythm with the seasons - sustainably, gently, and in a way that supports not just myself, but my little community of helpers, collaborators, and friends. To return to my art more fully. To share the making of Tied Fates with those I trust. To create without burning out.
Now that you’ve glimpsed our past, our present, and the dreams still waiting just beyond the veil, I hope you can feel what Tied Fates truly is - not just a brand, but a living tale. One spun from stardust and paper scraps, stitched with love and curiosity, and enchanted with the hope that human-made art can still cast spells.
Thank you for walking a little way down this path with me. Your presence in this story is no small thing - it’s the kind of magic that keeps it all alive.
With warmth and love,
Blue ☽
