'Päiväperho' is a common nickname for butterflies, adding a touch of endearment. For me, they symbolize living in the moment, something precious that can only be appreciated now.

The butterfly motif has been a major theme in my creations over the years, showcasing its significance.'" ※こちらの商品は天然素材を使用しておりますので、品質についての留意点がございます。詳しくはページ下部の【お取扱いのご注意】をお読みください。
