Every pact has a witness. Every forest holds a secret. Every brother has a choice.

His Brother’s Keeper resurrects the haunting drama of Die zwei Brüder (The Two Brothers), a Brothers Grimm tale as tangled as the woods it takes place in. With illustrations by Philipp Grot Johann (1912) and engraved by H. Volkart, this design wears like a living legend—a story not just told but carried.

On the outer panels, one brother saves the other, caught in a moment of decisive, wild devotion. Their bodies twist in motion, arms extended, fate unfolding mid-rescue. On the inner panels, blocks of original German text from the tale root the story into mythic permanence, reminding you this isn’t just narrative—it’s folklore carved in ink and resurrected in thread.

The entire shoe is bathed in a spellbinding golden-ochre wash that glows like a forest at dusk. The dark engravings pierce through it like tree roots, or curses. It's the aesthetic of danger narrowly escaped, of promises kept through blood and time.

Wonders Whispered About These Wares

Powers Bestowed Upon the Possessor

Oath of the Blood-Bound: Protect those you call kin, through curse, forest, and flame.

Memory of the Woods: Navigate betrayal and loyalty as easily as paths through tangled trees.

Burden Shared, Burden Broken: Carry the weight of another—and emerge stronger for it.

Jaded Lament Discovery Note

These shoes once belonged to twin emissaries exiled for breaking the Lament Code: one for telling a lie, and the other for dying without permission. Both walked back into legend. Both were forgiven.

These Vibes Shall Be the Emanation

These feel like they were etched with a knife and a vow, in the brief moment before dawn and judgment. They belong to someone who died for their sibling, and then returned with teeth bared. A fairy tale turned binding contract. Grimm, with consequence.

Hymns to Strengthen Thy Enchanted Relic

Lend Thine Ear, Fortify Thy Powers. Invoke these chants whilst donning thy wares, that the enchantment might seep deeper into thy bones.

(1) "Terrible Love" – Birdy (cover of The National)
Soft yet raw; the way loyalty can feel both holy and heavy.

(2) "The Wolves and the Ravens" – Rogue Valley
Nature watches. Secrets are kept. Devotion cuts through the trees.

(3) "Mykonos" – Fleet Foxes
Haunting harmonies for a journey split by fate and choice.

(4) "Smoke Signals" – Phoebe Bridgers
Long, meandering loyalty, tangled in grief and the things we never say.

(5) "The Curse" – Agnes Obel
A dark, elegant tale of promises, sacrifice, and the cost of survival.

This playlist captures whispered oaths, bone-deep loyalty, and the silent terror of walking into myth for someone else.

  • Trade Routes, Tides & Transit

    A Note from the Laments Regarding Fulfillment: Each relic is conjured upon request, hand-wrought in our faraway atelier with care befitting the Old Ways. Most emerge within 5–10 days; arrival at your threshold may span 2–3 weeks, depending on tides, tempests, or logistics beyond mortal control.

    Some parcels may arrive separately—such is the nature of enchanted logistics.

    Should you harbor questions, omens, or mere curiosities, the Laments are always listening. Reach out at will.
