About Callum & Treasures
Join the remarkable journey of Callum & Treasures, a blossoming brand that draws inspiration from the extraordinary connection between siblings. Earl, a South London artist and resident illustrator at Samsung KX, found himself captivated by the boundless imagination of his sister and writer, Sophia. Together, their collaboration flourished as Earl brought her enchanting tales to life, igniting a shared vision to celebrate children everywhere.
Dedicated to the joy of childhood, Callum & Treasures crafts a delightful array of merchandise and storybooks that kindle the imagination including their much-adored debut children's storybook, 'The Left-handed Champ,' that encourages children to be resilient when faced with challenges, in a fun way. Be sure to check out their new children's storybook I AM VIOLET, a whimsical story about a girl named Violet and just like a shrinking violet flower that hides - she is shy until she comes across a big problem in her town one day. This book encourages confidence, being a leader and speaking up.
This sibling duo weaves together art, storytelling, and the magic of childhood.
