Hand-Embroidery. Maps. And a whole lot of love and joy. Welcome to the world of catstudio.
Starting with just 2 designs—Atlanta and Georgia, to celebrate the 1996 Olympics—we now have over 300 of your favorite geographical locales and universities, and many more in the works.
At the heart of catstudio are its founders: Carmel and Terrell Swan, creators of Swan Magic embroidered t-shirts. The first letters of their names—C and T—form the “CAT” of catstudio, and their love for hand-craftsmanship, their passion for geography, and their sense of adventure and fun ring true in everything we create.
Each piece of art is lovingly drawn by hand, on paper. We spend countless hours researching, sketching, chatting with locals, and finally bringing the art to life with as many as 30 colors with one big goal in mind: illuminating YOUR special place with love, joy, and an insider’s perspective.
We love developing unique, innovative new products that make the everyday special, and elevate the rich traditions of artisanship around the world.
Everyone has a story, a home, a happy place...and our team loves nothing more than hearing your catstudio stories. From collections of glasses that celebrate all the places you’ve been, to pillows that have been passed down from generation to generation. It is the joy of bringing a smile or a memory to one’s heart through the artwork we create—that is the reason we do what we do.
That’s our story…What’s yours?
