soft relic society

Soft Relic Society is a monthly mail club for yearners, poets and mystics — for anyone who still believes in whimsy and taking their time.

One handmade artifact each month. A hand-embroidered word, a felted symbol, a cosmic charm. Each month's art piece, born of needle-felting and slow stitch, arrives tucked in a lovingly wax-sealed letter.

Something to read by candlelight. A question, and sometimes even the answer. A delivery of curiosities on your doorstep: to be worn, pinned, or framed. Your very own collection of amulets to hold sacred.

‎♡₊˚ 🧶🪡・₊✧

What you'll receive:

  • A handmade textile talisman (approx. 4×3") — needle-felted, hand-embroidered, layered in fabric and wool. A safety pin is stitched to the piece, ready to wear.

  • Each month a new symbol, word, or design: slow textile art to collect, wear and display

  • A personal letter on the month's theme, signed by the artist and closed with a fawn wax seal. Letters can include poetry, prose, journalling prompts, and other musings

  • A coloured 6×9" envelope, ink-stamped with the society's emblem

Ways to keep & display your relic:

  • Pin to your jacket or hat with the included safety pin
  • Mount in a frame and hang on your wall
  • Tuck into your current read as a bookmark
  • Use as a charm on your keys or wear as a necklace
  • Sew to your tote bag or clothing as a patch
  • Rest on your altar or dresser
  • Clip into your hair

You Might be Wondering

  • Every month, you'll receive one handmade piece of textile art — the month's chosen word, symbol, or design — needle-felted, embroidered, layered in fabric and wool. A safety pin is stitched to every piece, so it's ready to wear.

    It arrives paired with a collectible wax-sealed letter of stories, observations, and curiosities gathered around it.

    Both arrive together in a custom-stamped 6×9" envelope, ready to join your collection.

  • Subscribe anytime during the month to receive the following month's artifact: join in November, and your first relic ships in December.

    Mailings go out during the first week of each month.

  • Each charm is made from fabric, wool, and/or thread that's been layered, stitched, and felted.

    Materials, colour, texture, and weave vary from piece to piece and month to month.

  • Each relic is approximately 4×3", though exact size and shape can vary from month to month.

    All are sized to fit comfortably inside the 6×9" envelope alongside your monthly letter.

  • Soft Relic Society ships worldwide! Shipping is included for Canada and the USA. Everywhere else, there's a small $3 USD shipping fee per delivery.

    Orders travel by untracked lettermail from Canada (that's what keeps costs down), so delivery times vary depending on where you are. You can read our full shipping policy here.

  • Yes and no. Every member receives the same relic each month (the same word, symbol, or design) but each one is handmade: needle-felted, embroidered, or layered in felt and fabric.

    Variations in materials, colour, texture, shape, and weave mean no two will ever be exactly alike. That's what makes them so special!

  • You'll be charged on the day you subscribe, and on that same date each month after. Join anytime during the month — sign up by the last day to receive the following month's mailing.

    Say you subscribe on May 18th — you'll be billed on the 18th of each month. Your first relic will be June's mailing, which ships in the first week of June.

    Because billing and mailing run on different schedules, you may occasionally be charged for the next month before the previous relic arrives. Each payment corresponds to one monthly relic.

    Annual members are charged once per year on their signup anniversary.

  • Yes! Enter the recipient's mailing address instead of your own at checkout — but use your own email address, so the subscription stays in your account and you can manage it anytime.

    They'll receive a beautiful monthly gift from the Society.

  • Please keep your shipping address up to date in your subscription portal — note that updating your Shopify account address alone won't change where your deliveries are sent.

    Each order is made by hand and carefully prepared for its journey, but occasionally things go astray in the mail.

    If yours arrives damaged or doesn't make it to you, please get in touch and it will be made right.

  • Of course. Monthly memberships can be paused or cancelled at any time before your next billing date. If you've already been charged for a relic, it will still be made and sent to you.

    Prefer to just miss a month? You can skip an upcoming shipment instead.

    Annual memberships are prepaid for the full year and non-refundable. Cancel anytime to prevent renewal, and you'll keep receiving relics through the end of your prepaid year.
