From Heels to the Sea: What’s Coming Next

There’s something magical about this stage in the creative process — when paint, shimmer, and texture come together to tell a story.

New hand-painted stiletto tote bags with red flowers and colorful butterflies hanging to dry

This week, the studio’s been split in two moods: a touch of glam for four brand-new shoe-inspired totes and a splash of coastal charm for two new beachy favorites.

Full reveal coming soon — and trust me, you’ll want to see these sparkle. 💕
