Luxury accessories meet literary ambition...

Cantermelon creates phone chains for those who understand that practical objects deserve beautiful design. Each piece serves a dual purpose: elevating the everyday necessity of carrying your phone while supporting the publication of new literary voices through independent publishing.

Like the Renaissance patrons who understood that luxury should serve a greater purpose, we're creating a world where commerce and culture collaborate.

Think of it as accidental patronage, where choosing something beautiful for yourself supports the arts.


Our cantermelon creative: rowan taigel

Space invader

My heart is a metal coin slot for your love.

For a limited time only, 

vintage tinged memories will play

like pinballs; their cheerful dings ringing

damply in this dark, lint-filled corner

of your mind-arcade

like bobbing for love in a heart barrel-

I can’t stand it

just use your hands!

Ride your ghost train 

through the corny nostalgia of my heart,

rip me apart in small pink tufts 

to melt upon your tongue.

Bring your mallet down upon me 

and make my bell clang!

Sophistication is for the lonely-hearted.
