The month of April is adorned with purple and white with the flowering of the ‘Anemones of the woods’, ‘Stellaria Major’ or ‘Violets Canina’. And the green is like a gift wrap that lets discover these delicate jewels.
If I were an object, I would like to be a doll, so pretty jewel in the hands of little girls, that one dresses in the sandstone of the seasons such as the flowers of the fields.

This Doll ‘April’ is Like a poem to nature that is reborn in April.
Inspired by the English countryside, she releases sweetness and tenderness, which makes her the prettiest confidante of girls.
And just change the colors of these clothes to make it travel in each season!
