New etsy shop!

I have started a new etsy shop!
The shop is called Le Bouton - Unique. Here you will find singular, unique (hence the name) pieces that will not be exactly reproduced in the le bouton line. These pieces are a pure creative outlet, and all are very fine.
Please, take a look! If you have any questions, email me!
