From Books to Bags: The Inspiration Behind Our Moths and Butterflies Design

Imagine a world where the delicate flutter of a butterfly's wings or the intricate patterns of a moth's wings are forever captured in a timeless accessory.

Her early 20th-century book, Moths and Butterflies, seamlessly blends scientific precision with poetic beauty, much like our new Moths and Butterflies collection.
