Dazzling Osmopolitan references the 1930s art deco detailing that appear in the film’s intricate sets, with floral notes and contrasting colourways inspired by Elphaba and Glinda.
Tulip Harvest was inspired by one of the film’s dramatic, hand-built sets: where thousands of tulips were grown to bloom in a field in Norfolk to be used as a backdrop within Munchkinland.
Elsewhere, discover delicate friendship bracelets from Anni Lu, bespoke brushes from La Bonne Brosse and knitwear from Lingua Franca.
