WEARABLE ART

Designed with intention, these wearable works of art invite you to step into your power and move through the world with renewed presence. Every piece honors your essence and celebrates your individuality.

Each design embodies slow fashion and eco-conscious living, reminding us that clothing is more than fabric. It is story. It is expression. It is empowerment.

Wearable talismans stitched with spirit.

Talisman Hats

Each Talisman Hat is a handcrafted vessel of story, symbolism, and intention. Rooted in ritual and inspired by natural materials, every piece is intuitively designed to reflect the wearer’s essence — a powerful fusion of fashion, magic, and meaning. These hats are created one at a time, guided by energy, ancestral symbols, and the wild, sacred language of the Northwoods.
