Weather is getting colder and you may be looking for a pretty coat to feel warmer and comfortable. Imp and Pixie features a little but lovely collection of coats inspired in the forest magical creatures. They’re very wearable and would do also with any jeans for your urban daily life. I always say… why people does dress always in such standard way and pay a lot of money for  boring design that is no risky or special at all? That is when I come to find all these lovely al small manufacturers that come out with a comfortably but still eye catchy coat (suitable both for man and woman), not only to dress yourself as a pixie but also be comfortable when doing it if it’s an outdoors event.  I always think that in fantasy fairs most girls cover themselves only  with ivy, glitter  and fairy wings but forget about the risk to get a pneumonia LOL. If you cover yourself of course do it with something fitting and also useful for your daily “fae” wear.

They´re made to order (in different color and lining) taking an average of a couple of weeks, though I read from the manufacturer soon they’ll have ready to buy articles. All quilting design is freestyle and will vary for each piece making each jacket unique. As winter is just around the bend you’d do better having a look it Imp & Pixie.

Have a look to our previous articles about urban faerie wear  and shoes like pixie pixie, senjo clothing and others. They match just so perfectly.

Mythical masks

Mythical masks is a website that features a large collection of handmade  leather masks inspired in fantasy perfect for masquerade balls, ren faires and fantasy festivals. Masks come in different categories and collections from birds (raven, owls, peacock and more), animals, dragons (western or oriental) to elementals,  mermaid and ocean inspired, green men and fairy inspired masks.  If not enough it includes also  the possibility of making a custom order following your specifications. I particularly  love the butterfly and moths ones as they show a great delicacy when trying to mimic certain species painting the color patterns of the wings as in these:

To complete your search we recommend you to have a look back to our articles about “Masks by Morgan” and “Falcon rose” maks to find more in this style.

Falconrose: leather mask of the Renaissance and the Faery

Falconrose is a delightful collection of leather hand crafted masks, the site and the style of the masks themselves reminds us of ancient times and mediaeval tapestries…  The site is not only worth because of the wonderful masks they make, but also becuase of the throrough description of the creatures that makes it interesting enough even if just only for reading about the myths and legends that inspired them.

The Otherworld collection, featuring the Mythical creatures (unicorns, fauns and dragons) and Gods and Goddesses collection (some of which have references to greek, mediaeval and even

The Woods collection (feature feathered, furred and  the Green beings collection). Here we can find wolves, raven and corvids, some stunning owl masks  and all sort of dryad and green man masks, some of which are really amazing.

The Court, it divides as well in two mini collections, The Unseelie court  featuring a darker side  of magical creatures not friendly for human eings like  goblins, the wood witch, or an absolutely gorgeous Medusa mask (see below), and other more faeric called The Seelie court featuring some beautiful butterfly inspired design as well.
