BETTER BÅLLS: Expensive. Natural. Sexy.
BETTER BÅLLS: Expensive. Natural. Sexy.
REAL Luxury.
Luxury is returning to life.
To truly live is luxury.
BETTER BÅLLS makes objects of desire including, clothing, writing, and symbols to be worn, warmed, carried, touched, gifted, lived with, and remembered.
This is a threshold.
Not everyone is meant to enter.
BETTER BÅLLS is for those who know the flat world is not enough.
For those who felt the signal before the world had language for it.
For those moving through beauty, rage, grief, dreams, symbols, memory, and the unknown.
For those no longer willing to perform normalcy inside a dead story.
Not escape.
Embodiment.
Not obedience.
Discernment.
Not status.
Life.
Forward.
Only the Living may Enter
We Reject the Forgetting of Life.
We reject luxury that forgets the body.
Beauty that forgets care.
Status that forgets soul.
Freedom that forgets responsibility.
Spirituality that forgets embodiment.
Belonging that forgets feeling.
Objects that forget meaning.
A world that forgets children, homes, nature, memory, humour, warmth, grief, pleasure, protection, and the ordinary sacredness of being alive.
For those seeking the dead world in prettier packaging.
There is nothing here for you.
Move along.
BETTER BÅLLS is for those who still feel something.
“Galoots, guttersnipes and shills move onwards — for the likes of you there is nothing here to see.”
— Harlan Cockburn, Midnight Lunar Musings
MORE THAN A BRAND.
BETTER BÅLLS is the material expression of the Church of Better Being The Church gives spiritual form to the work. The Books carry its teachings.
BETTER BÅLLS brings them into matter. Objects. Clothing. Books. Beauty. Craft. Everyday life. Because a living religion must also be lived.
Each piece is a fragment of a larger world — made to be worn, warmed, carried, touched, gifted, lived with, and remembered.
Modern life has drastically standardized the human being.
What to eat.
What to wear.
How to work.
How to speak.
How to parent.
How to age.
How to decorate.
How to desire.
How to succeed.
How to be reasonable.
How to be visible.
How to be acceptable.
The result is not peace.
It is a mass loss of soul.
People are not only underdressed. They are under-mythed. Cut off from authoring their own story. Tired from living inside scripts they did not write.
The enemy is standardization: the flattening of life into pre-approved, palatable templates.
The correct career.
The correct body.
The correct home.
The correct child schedule.
The correct neutral outfit.
The correct productivity system.
The correct polite opinions.
The correct way to be rich.
The correct way to be a parent.
The correct way to be ambitious.
The correct way to be normal.
And everything outside that becomes too much.
Too emotional.
Too expensive.
Too colourful.
Too private.
Too intense.
Too symbolic.
Too feminine.
Too masculine.
Too spiritual.
Too ambitious.
Too beautiful.
Too alive.
BETTER BÅLLS is a refusal of that.
We write our own how-to’s.
For those who still feel something.
BETTER BÅLLS is the material world of Better Being — expressed through clothing, books, objects, beauty, craft, humour, symbolism, and everyday life.
It exists in service of the Church of Better Being and its larger work of helping human beings live more fully and create better.
