About

From her East London studio, British artist and maker Zoë Lucia Gorringe — founder of Studies of Blue World — handcrafts sensitive, poetic accessories for both the person and the home.

Her work finds beauty in the mundane and the melancholy, with each piece capturing quiet, intimate — often insignificant — moments.

Each item is handmade and hand-embroidered, adding a charmingly unique irregularity that reflects the time, care, and the quiet intention behind it.

Sourcing vintage, surplus and deadstock fabrics wherever possible — along with sustainable textiles from heritage mills — SOB World takes a thoughtful, holistic approach to sustainable luxury. Every offcut is repurposed, and each decision made with care for both people and the environment. This slow, intentional process is as much about storytelling as it is about design.

Zoë’s work is a quiet contribution toward environmental and social equality, offering small, meaningful gestures in a shifting world.
