Limited Edition: Strawberry Jam
The March ink in our Ink of the Month series is Limited Edition – Strawberry Jam.
An ink that carries the warmth of a kitchen, summer light, and the unhurried rhythm of tradition. A colour born from memory.
The story of the colour
The shade Strawberry Jam is inspired by the colour of my grandmother’s strawberry jam, which she makes every year. A red that is never simply red — but deep, full, and softly muted.
It is the colour of glass jars sealed with paper lids, of sunlight filtering through a kitchen window, of time moving more gently than usual.
