About our carvings

Elements

Our intricately carved lipsticks are composed of several elements inspired by the Garden of Eden and reclaiming the feminine power behind each shade.

Roses

In the centre lays our bed of roses, the soft yet prickly flower symbolising sweetness, beauty, and adversity. Snakes surround, envelop, and hide amongst foliage, representing the Garden of Eden and the original sin attributed to women. 🌹

Snakes

Feminine Power

At the bottom of each carving is a discreet drawing representing female sex organs to open up the taboo surrounding female sexual pleasure and encourage our customers to familiarise themselves with their bodies.🍑
