ERSTWILDER x RED DUST FUNDRAISER

June 15, 2020

Recent events have drawn the world’s attention once more to the ongoing injustice faced by so many. And it has turned our attention inward, as individuals and as a label, to take a good, hard and sometimes uncomfortable look at ourselves and how we can help in the movement toward a more equitable society, free of racism and anti-blackness. As the first step in our own reconciliation journey we're partnering with Red Dust...

A great way to shop

The lucky dip is such a fun experience. I have ordered this before and received a brooch I would not have ordered, but fell in love with the second I saw it in person. Same with the earrings, it's always good to push your style out of your comfort zone. Packaged very well and shipped fast.

Love love love

This is how I feel about my new earrings they are totally amazing 🤩

Puffin love

Piccolo puffin is absolutely beautiful.

A fun surprise

I absolutely loved my lucky dip. I got a cute “Amor” brooch. It wouldn’t have been something I would have picked myself but now that I have it I absolutely love it. Beautifully made and came packaged so nicely

Fun Brooch

This is a great brooch for any Grease fan. When I received an Erstwilder gift card, this brooch was at the top of my wish list. Fast shipping to USA.
