march! kalo mina! women’s history month. spring. greek independence day. lent. a time to emerge from hibernation! ✨

Today, on March 1st and the Sunday of Orthodoxy, it is especially fitting to remember Empress Theodora. (slide 4) Leaving a rural family to marry an iconoclast Emperor, she used her power to restore iconography to the Church after his death.

ready to sparkle in the spring sun! 🌞

martaki featuring a terracotta triangle baked on a Greek island and covered in 24K gold for a tiny indulgence ✨

on march 1st, according to a very old tradition deeply connected to the cycles of the natural world, we tie little red and white bracelets on our wrists. this symbolizes the spring, when the sun grows stronger, and nature reawakens. martakia mean hope.

many people make wishes, tying their bracelets onto a tree for good luck after some time has passed, making a tiny offering to nature (some traditions say a bird will come to pick up the string for their nests!) and hoping that their wish will come true. in some parts of greece, the tradition is so specific that the timing is not connected with the changing months, but with the return of a local migratory bird or with the blooming of a local flower.

the greek earth collection honors this deep connection to the earth, with terracotta beads sourced from greece and cotton string. (terracotta means “cooked earth!”)
