I’d love to start off this year with a blog post highlighting everything I learned in 2020 and my motivational goals/plans/tips for a fantastic 2021, but the truth is that I am feeling apathetic about 2021 at best.

Vanessa Ægirsdóttir opened the doors of her Whitehorse shop in 2018. I noticed her beautifully crafted fur jewelry a year or so later when we followed each other on Instagram.

I was instantly smitten with the brand for a number of reasons, including their commitment to sustainability, the accessible price point, and the simplicity of their gorgeous pieces.
