We recently gathered in San Francisco to celebrate the launch of the new Ariel Gordon Jewelry x Le Feu de L’eau Lucky Charm Candle collaboration, which included an afternoon well spent toasting with some of our favorite local mamas and mamas-to-be at Benevolent Tide Club, a collective space in the Mission, shared by Mohinders, Salter Vintage, and bag maker Susan Hoff. The eclectic space was the perfect setting to cheers the new product with decor and florals created by Elsie Green, sweet and savory bites provided by Bi-Rite, sips by MA’D Wines, and tarot card readings for each of our guests by The Hanged Man Co. Want proof? Check out our fun party pics below!
