'The Authentic Path' Dragonfly and Fern Embroidered Patch

✨ Connects you with nature

✨ Teaches you amazing facts about the natural world

✨ Starts fun conversations with friends

The patch is  11.5 x 9 cm, and comes inside an A6 presentation card with a moss green envelope.

It’s colour fast, so it won't fade.

This art patch is intricately embroidered and is designed to be mounted on a hard or stiff surface.
🍀 To frame or mount on a book cover, you can use double sided tape or glue.
🍀 To attach your patch to fabric, like a canvas bag, flag or stiff jacket, I would recommend stitching, or using fabric glue. You may find the latter easier and you can get glues that are resistant to washing, if you want to wash your bag or jacket. The patch is machine washable and colour fast if you do choose to wash it.

Returns

We want our process to be hassle free for you. If you receive your item and are not totally happy with it (though we are sure you will be!), we will accept your returns within 14 days of delivery. The order must be returned in “as new” state in the packaging originally used. Once the returned order has been received, I will issue a refund of the original purchase price, including original delivery charges as paid.

UK returns

If you live in the UK, returns are free, whatever the reason for your return. Please let me know if you would like to return an order by email to ria@wearearcana.com, and I will send you with the necessary documentation.

Overseas returns

If the item is in any way faulty, we will pay for the return postage from whichever country you are in. If you have changed your mind, we kindly ask that you pay for the order to be returned.

Made to Order Production

We are a small independent British business, and with sustainability close to our hearts and always on our mind, we keep a small stock in our studio and make-to-order if demand exceeds our stock. If an item is made to order, you can expect the a production time of 5-6 weeks. 

Occasionally we have pre-order events, so if you want to own your very own Arcana blanket, cushion or bag, sign up for our newsletter so you don't miss our new releases, pre-order events and promotions.

The gatefold presentation cards from each patch are printed in the UK on uncoated stock made from 100% genuine de-inked post consumer waste and FSC® certified. Made in an industry leading mill to strict ISO 14001 standards for environmental management, it is chlorine free (PCF) significantly reducing water contamination from processing.

I collaborate with a well-established UK company that partners with a small family-run factory in Ganzhou, renowned for its commitment to ethical and environmental standards. This partnership ensures safe working conditions, protection of workers’ rights, and the use of certified, and where possible, recycled materials. The factory, founded 16 years ago, is now strategically located near the homes of all local employees (very unusual in China), and benefits from a stable, well-compensated workforce with 50 employees. This close-knit approach fosters not only high-quality production but also a deep commitment to ethical practices.
