Verne Collection: News of the week with new designs and recipe ideas inspired by steampunk, retro-futurism, and the aesthetics of the Victorian era (1840-1900).
Introduction
Welcome to our Verne Collection News #1! In the “News” section of the Verne Collection page, we present the latest steampunk-inspired designs and creative recipes from the virtual restaurant “Gear Bites.” In this first edition of Verne Collection News, we introduce Gear Bites—our new sub-brand for recipes, lifestyle, and design. From Georgian classics such as khachapuri, kharcho, and gozinaki to chacha cocktails, T-shirts, mugs, and bags with Victorian flair—here, the 19th century, gears, and brass combine with modern creativity.
New Steampunk Designs
- Jules Verne’s time machine is available as a T-shirt, bag, or coffee mug. Here are two new designs with different country-specific lettering and a full-surface illustration without dominant lettering. (Design 1, Design 2)
- We have started with the musician series, this time with saxophone players. The designs feature an attractive saxophone player with the slogan “Feel the wave” in various foreign language translations, as well as a male robot in Jules Verne style with the slogan “Jazz.”
- The designs can be printed on various products. We have chosen the categories T-shirts, mugs, and bags. Other product categories are available from our production partner.
