The Puppets of Darkness is a series launched in support of the Ukraine. All pieces are based on the seismic geopolitical shifts being etched in the world around us, as visible from 20,000km above the earth’s orbit. The embroideries are inspired by satellite photos (NASA and ESA), reinterpreted at By Told, and embellished by our talented embroidery partners in Mumbai. All profits from the series will be donated to the UNHCR and Bellingcat. Bellingcat is an NGO working with satellite imagery, among many other resources, to report on and expose the truth on important topics shaping the world around us. 
 
Lightness of Being
These shawls have been inspired by night satellite photos of Ukraine before and after the Russian invasion.
The graphite colored cashmere blend shawls are responsibly woven in Nepal. The hand embroidery has been created by our talented partner artisans in Mumbai, with silver and golden metallic threads and tiny golden glass beads.
