If you're not in LA, or can't make our November pop up events, come check out new designs online. Lots of easy pieces that shine - from velvet to hand painted, there are new collaborative pieces, and one of a kinds. Did you know that our designs are made of natural fibers, from eco friendly materials sourced locally, and shipped with minimal packaging for a small shipping footprint?
