CrypticxCove

CrypticxCove is an independent gothic art and jewellery business run by Mac, bringing together eerie folklore, cryptid-inspired artwork and contemporary chainmaille designs.

The brand began with a fascination for cryptids such as the Mothman, growing into a creative tribute to the monsters, myths and mysteries that linger in our collective imagination. CrypticxCove’s artwork explores obscure folklore, eerie legends and strange creatures, with a particular love for the darker, more mysterious side of UK storytelling.

Alongside the prints, CrypticxCove also creates gothic chainmaille jewellery. Using techniques rooted in traditional medieval armour making, Mac transforms chainmaille into modern alternative pieces with an edgy, wearable feel. The result is a collection that bridges ancient legend, gothic style and handcrafted detail.

At The Curious Hideaway, CrypticxCove has a 2ft shelf for jewellery, along with space at the front of the till for prints. The range is ideal for customers who enjoy cryptids, folklore, gothic artwork, alternative jewellery and unusual handmade pieces with a strong sense of story.
