Beauty and Bliss

Inspired by the flora of her native Costa Rica, Rebeca Zamora carefully chooses a photograph of santa lucía flowers to have printed on this silky polyester handkerchief. Displaying gorgeous shades of fuchsia and lilac, it makes a lovely and luxurious accessory. 'Here, the tiny blossoms are used in medicines and essential oils,' the artisan explains. 'It's a tradition to give family and friends a cluster of flowers, tied with a ribbon, which they keep in their wallet or billfold. In this way, we offer our best wishes for abundant health, work, love, peace and prosperity.'
