Sex is a series of prints that draws on the textile tradition of storytelling through symbolism, exploring human relationships, life’s rituals, and fortunes. Birds and Bees and Coffee, Tea or Me? delve into the complexities of romantic encounters, highlighting both the joy and challenge of love.

Coffee, Tea or Me? – once a cheeky pick-up line from flight attendants – becomes a playful visual pun here. Using a trio of botanical elements (rubber plant leaves, coffee beans, and tea plant), the print playfully hints at a romantic setting, whether in the bedroom or at the table.

While the prints initially echo familiar textile motifs, their layered symbolism tells a deeper story. Alex’s work consistently uses nature to reflect on human experience, connection, and our relationship with the world around us.

Our indigo is natural, from fermented indigo plant leaves and of the highest quality. It does not fade or rub off like other inferior indigos. Like denim, before using with light colours it is recommended to have the fabric pre-washed.
