Mimi used to say ‘I love you to unicorn world and back’, which made me think of a line from Lewis Carrol’s Through the Looking Glass. The unicorn says to Alice, ‘If you’ll believe in me, I’ll believe in you.’ The idea that if you could believe in a unicorn you must be able to believe in yourself, seemed like a powerful one and so the idea for the unicorn necklace and bangle was born.

I then started researching other spirit animals and their meanings and was influenced by naive Scandinavian art and animals drawn with simple black outlines as I wanted the animals to have a clean, modern, almost industrial look.
