The Helix Étui
_____________________
Now available for pre-order, the Helix Étui features a metal handle with a helix cut, symbolizing growth, inheritance, and refinement over time. Its design allows the included pennies to be partially visible and produces a subtle, bell-like resonance when handled. Limited to 249 pieces, with only 50 available in this initial pre-order, each Étui comes with three specially designed pennies celebrating keys, bees, flowers, and the power of words.
The First Edition Kathryn Hastings Étui
Launched January 2025 • Sold Out
______________________________________
The First Edition Kathryn Hastings Étui marked the beginning of the Étui legacy. Limited to 99 signed and registered pieces, it featured three double-sided disks (six intaglios) rich in symbolism, crafted to inspire the art of wax sealing and intentional correspondence. Made entirely by small businesses in the United States, this inaugural edition is now fully sold out and stands as the foundation upon which the Second Edition: Helix Étui continues the story.
