Introducing our THE LOVE YOU DON’T SHARE IS THE PAIN YOU KEEP: LOVE LETTER SERIES
Love Day is coming up already and we are bringing you a pro tip that I’ve learned from personal experience. Everybody loves a hand written love letter. So I (Dakarai Akil) created 20 1 of 1 love letter collage cards for you to give to your person this Valentine’s Day. Each card comes signed and numbered as they are all original pieces of art made by hand.
🚫 digital, 🚫 AI.
Each card also comes in a handcrafted red square envelope and sealed with a beautiful wax seal all made by @villagepapermaker right here in LA.
Inside the envelope along with your unique love letter card will be cuts of romantic styled collage material + blank canvas for you and your special person to create your own love collage together for a special date night experience you can keep forever. All you need is glue.
