Recently Marthe was gifted a handful of samples from Soul Flower’s Basics Collection thanks to a Minneapolis based friend that stopped by our Sample & Seconds Sale. Marthe got right to work adding her unique art to our organic silhouette!

Ever since Marthe was a child, she’s painted on anything and everything. From shoes, to clocks, to walls, it drove her mother insane. Especially when at one point she started to use nothing but boxes full of nail polish to create her art.
