The Story Behind This Piece

Slightly dramatic, misunderstood by the public, snack-motivated at midnight, and doing her absolute best under minor inconveniences—America’s only marsupial is the official spirit animal of women with a great sense of humor.

Arrives on a custom-engraved solid blonde maple wood card inside a linen gift box.
