BlackCrown Creative Atelier What's the point in being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable? -Vicente Yuste The idea for BlackCrown Trading Co. So that is what we did.

started in Malta, the summer of 2011, over drinks with friends. Malta being an island, it is very difficult to shop for anything that was not made or locally distributed on the island. We all had our personal tastes, but we couldn't seem to find an easy, stylish outlet to shop from. The conversation began to go from complaining to ‘what if’. From there, Nomad was born. Our group of friends was small. We had a Spaniard, a Texan, a Norwegian, a Swede, and a Britt, and from there we began comparing and contrasting ideas for an online shop we would want to buy from, be inspired by, and grow with. We decided that Nomad would be our store where we would personally design and hand-select items that we wanted to feature, that we felt best suited our personal tastes. Now we have our store. Our merchandise ranges from limited edition prints to clothing pieces and household items that each have a distinctive style. We also take pride in the other brands we feature that we handpicked to feature in our store. Every item shown on our site is something we have allowed ourselves to fall in love with. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do…

Every year, BlackCrown chooses one brand we’d love to reimagine—no pitch deck theater, no noise. Just a disciplined exercise in taste, craft, and respect for the story.

This season’s pick: Thorin’s Mead out of Paige.

The current bottles already have what most brands spend years trying to fake: character. Illustrated labels that feel discovered at a festival—Viking and Knightly like collectible posters you don’t want to throw away.

Our concept takes that soul and builds a true “house” around it:
• A simplified master mark (Mjölnir) and a bold gothic wordmark
• A consistent label architecture across the lineup
• Color-coded variants so you recognize the family instantly (Viking / Elder’s / Knightly / Founders)
• Premium shelf presence—dark, iconic, disciplined—without losing the myth

In short: same world, sharper language. Less “different labels,” more “one brand with legends.”

If you’re part of Thorin’s Mead, consider this a public love letter—and an open invitation. Let’s forge the next era properly.
