Symbolic Art to Wear.
Telling Roses brings to life the countless symbols of the Rose through the ancient art of hand embroidery .
The Symbolic Collections
How we work
We craft only original concepts inspired by mythology, art history, folklore, and the Victorian language of flowers.
Our drawings are entirely our own and become the base of our hand embroidered artworks.
We carefully select second-hand, vintage, or new garments to repurpose through our art— prioritizing premium vintage textiles and natural fabrics like viscose, organic cotton, linen, wool and silk.
By choosing one of our pieces, you wear sustainable art and help keep the rich legacy of rose symbolism alive across centuries and cultures.
Mother & Daughter project
We love Roses, we love Symbols.
We are mother, Bruna, and daughter, Maria, working to build a community of Rose Tellers united by shared values of love for craftmanship and for a meaningful, sustainable fashion.
