I get weirdly excited about decorating my Easter Eggs with Tattly. I remember the first time I did it in 2013 and it was a big hit with big and small.

Believe
“The thing is, ignorance is rarely the problem.
The challenge is that people don’t always care about what you care about. And the reason they don’t care isn’t that they don’t know what you know.
The reason is that they don’t believe what you believe.
The challenge, then, isn’t to inform them. It’s to engage and teach and communicate in a way that shares emotion and values and beliefs.”
Never be Fearful
“You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.”
– Rosa Parks

Vogue x Tattly
Tattly partnered with Vogue Magazine. I keep giggling every time I mention those two brands together. It’s making my heart explode a little bit. It doesn’t escape me that it is an absolute privilege for a young company like Tattly to collaborate with an esteemed and trusted brand like Vogue! I remember sitting in their conference room, a few months back, overlooking lower Manhattan and thinking “is this really happening?”
And now it’s here, we launched the Vintage Vogue Collection. My team and I spent days going through their 125 year magazine archive and picked some of our favorite illustrations from the 20s, 30s and 40s.
The lady riding the zebra, which is a Vogue cover illustration is definitely the one that won my heart. But the there’s also the woman holding up a mask in the Vogue Set that keeps making me smile.
This is a limited edition collection, so get it while you can.
(My apologies to my international readers, unfortunately we are only allowed to ship within the U.S)
