Willow Rose Online Boutique

Whether it’s Tinkerbell, Oberon or the flappable Stanford Blatch, you’re fond of little fairies.

So is Willow Corbett-Winder, the ethereal Brit behind online boutique Willow Rose. Based in St. Tropez, the talented pixie makes treasures out of vintage odds and ends by hand. Consider her a magpie, only in prettier clothing.

Unlike most of what’s in St. Trop, this lot’s remarkably cheap. Fabric-covered notebooks cost a sunny £25; friendship bracelets, £12. Pompom baskets are also worth a peek.

Corbett-Winder will happily craft bespoke versions of the above. The piece de resistance, however, has to be her word art; commission individual works for friends, lovers or your humble self.

Trust us, it’s fly.
