You can get 50% off the Rose Trellis mitts with the code Roses until Monday the 7th July SAST.

These mitts were inspired by a rose bush that my grandfather planted years ago, the only one that survived a long drought. For me, these mitts symbolize the intersections of relationship, nature, and resilience and are a reminder of the beauty that can survive even the harshest conditions.
