Wander the shop

Studio

I wander somewhere new, soak it all in, then create quirky fashion art with a little nudge to be braver, kinder and more curious. Every piece holds a place, a moment and a story worth collecting.

The Autumn Collection

Apples from Oak Glen, a witch's hat for Halloween and cozy pieces for sweater weather.

A note to the romantic academic

Soft candlelight, artisan throw pillows and a sherpa blanket for getting lost in your favorite story.
