Petite Painted Spade 5"x5"

Petite Icons

Small-scale statements with couture-level craftsmanship. Each Petite Icon starts with an up-cycled luxury box or shopping bag, trimmed into its signature shape, collaged, and embroidered directly through the original packaging. The result is a richly stitched surface that feels both graphic and elevated, designed to stand out from every angle.
The icon itself is built using embroidery thread, appliqué, or yarn, then hand-trimmed and mounted in relief to create a dimensional finish. Framed and mounted in acrylic, every Petite Icon is completely unique, signed and numbered on the back, and may vary slightly from images shown—especially in butterfly details and materials. Available framed in 5”x5”, 5”x12”, or 6”x8”.
