Mafia

Mafias around the world are known for chopping off their enemy’s limbs as punishment.  These soft sculptures are inspired by those acts that show no mercy, no forgiveness and no empathy.

But why are we sometimes our own mafia? Why do we keep on punishing ourselves for mistakes, instead of showing a little bit of compassion? Why can’t we forgive ourselves the same way we would forgive a friend?

MAFIA  are handmade forgiveness charms, they are a reminder that we should always forgive ourselves and others. They bring us the power and confidence we need to allow ourselves to admit mistakes and forgive.

MAFIA charms are hand sewn, printed and embroidered with love and care, so each one of them is unique. They are created in batches and are numbered and signed.
