The dandelion has it.”
– T. N. Hanh

“Wish on everything. Pink cars are good, especially old ones. And stars of course, first stars and shooting stars. Planes will do if they are the first light in the sky and look like stars. Wish in tunnels, holding your breath and lifting your feet off the ground.”
– Francesca Lia Block

“Maybe that’s what life is… a wink of the eye and winking stars.”
– Jack Kerouac

About the Print:

Lighthearted, whimsical, and full of magic — this design was so much fun to create! We collaged several pieces of art from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that depict symbols of good luck — including a gold wishbone from a Victorian postcard, a coin design from 1840, an evening star, and a beautiful 1755 painting of a dandelion waiting to be wished on. The banners and words reading “Make a wish with me, the best is yet to be” and “Best Wishes” are adapted from an 1880’s lithograph, and the lilacs and spring flowers adorning the whole design are symbols of hope and renewal. May this piece bring you luck and joy whenever you wear it!

55% linen, 45% viscose. Handwash, hang to dry.

Approximate Measurements: width 47cm, height 42cm (without strap), strap height 26cm (from top of bag to top of shoulder). Interior pocket 17cm x 17cm.

Our Muse

The idealist, the dreamer. Women who infuse lightness and joy wherever they go, who scatter dandelion seeds like stardust. Women who know the best is yet to be.

More Inspo

Making wishes is a timeless blend of hope, tradition, and a touch of magic! Most historians believe the origIn of wish-making comes from ancient Greece and Rome, where coins were tossed into fountains as offerings to water spirits, their ripples carrying dreams to unseen realms. The sight of a shooting star streaking across the night sky was thought to be a rare moment when the heavens opened, granting wishes to those quick enough to seize the chance. Even blowing out candles or sending dandelion seeds into the wind carries echoes of these ancient practices, connecting us to a long history of weaving wonder and dreams into the fabric of the everyday.
