We are so incredibly excited to announce our new retail presence in the iconic destination of Palm Springs! We have joined a wonderful collective of 20+ designers and artists at the Mojave Flea Trading Post at the Shops at 1345.

You can now shop a full selection of our jewelry in-person Thursday-Monday from 11-5pm at 1345 N Palm Canyon Drive. This destination provides the best shopping in Palm Springs and includes some of the most covetable vintage, mid century modern home decor and so much more. The Shops at 1345 provides hand-sanitizer, gloves and masks for a safe shopping experience.

This is, of course, not an exhaustive list. Our work doesn't end here. We believe in direct action, voting to root out systemic racism, writing elected representatives, defunding the police, speaking out when we see injustice, having hard conversations and the willingness to listen and change.

Love,

Jessica

 

Carolyn Hazel Drake is an artist & art educator based in Portland, Oregon. I met Carolyn back in 2014 when I used to live and have shop up there in the Pacific North West. She has been a customer & supporter of Dea Dia since then and we have had a major customer crush on her.  Her practice melds textiles and porcelain with modern and minimal sensibilities and folk art imagery. Carolyn has a show on view at Guardino Gallery in Portland. Her work can be viewed and purchased through their site & if you're in Portland she can lead you on a (socially distanced) tour.

Desert Rose Hat Co. went live today and we had a chat with Marlene about her personal style and inspirations and favorite Dea Dia Jewelry pieces.
