From the Sunshine Coast Studio

The designs on this website are a piece of digital alchemy, born on the Sunshine Coast, BC. Every design I create is intended to be a wearable amulet. I begin with symbolic foundations—often layered 15 or more times—to ensure that when you put this on, you aren't just wearing a garment; you are wearing an intention of strength and personal sovereignty.

Original design by Nilay Carlson, crafted on the Sunshine Coast, BC.

Extending the Studio: My Partners in Craft

To bring my layered digital compositions to life, I have carefully selected two global partners who specialize in All-Over Printing (AOP)—the only technology that allows my art to wrap entirely around the body or furniture without apology.

• My Apparel & Essentials: Fulfilled via Printful, chosen for their ability to merge high-performance all-over printing with everyday durability.

• My Bespoke & Home Collection: Fulfilled via Contrado (UK), selected for their artisan-level craftsmanship on complex textiles and furniture.

I treat these partnerships as an extension of my studio tools—selected specifically to ensure the 'amulet' you receive is exactly as I rendered it.

This item is printed and sewn to order to ensure the highest detail. To add this piece to your wardrobe, visit our Contrado boutique to view the full silhouette in 360 degrees, click ➸  IGNITE!

The Vision

Resilience in the Shadows. This flagship piece of the Sovereign Series is a study of internal power. The central Kintsugi Iris serves as a reminder that there is profound beauty in what has been broken and mended with gold. Set against a deep, oxblood-toned landscape, this vision represents the clarity of the self emerging from the darkness.

The Artistry

Hand-Sculpted Atmosphere. To achieve a "jewelry-grade" finish, the surrounding champagne-gold mist was built manually, "puff by puff", over several hours. This artisan process ensures the graphic has true 3D depth, allowing the golden light of the iris to illuminate the fabric rather than simply sitting on top of it.

Garment Architecture

• The Silhouette: An intentional, heavyweight Boxy Fit with a modern drop-shoulder and an architectural drape.

• The Fabric: Crafted from a substantial 260gsm cotton-touch textile that maintains its structure and premium feel over time.

• Bespoke Detailing: Features a contrasting black chunky neck rib that frames the piece, along with a custom-printed internal gold-foil label for a complete designer finish.

• Artisanal Build: Each garment is individually cut and sewn by hand to meet our specific "Sovereign" quality standards.
