With Ellie’s family roots in Chios, Greece, an island with a centuries-old seafaring tradition, the mariner motif feels especially personal. The sea has always been deeply woven into the identity of Chios, from generations of mariners and shipbuilders to the maritime villages that still line its coast today.
This puffy interpretation is Ellie’s softer, more sculptural take on the traditional mariner link, paired with silk cord for a piece that feels both old-world and modern.
