Modestly Excessive Expressions & Goods

Fox & Thistle Studio explores the curious intersection of history, myth, and design. Our collections draw from age-old texts, forgotten characters, and enduring fables—filtered through a graphic lens and a touch of irreverence. From historically inspired clothing designs to second-hand finds and upcycled goods, we curate pieces with built-in stories. Our blog, impetus inaction, follows these themes and visual threads, celebrating creativity not in pursuit of nostalgia, but of narrative.
