Carry a meaningful ritual space wherever life takes you with this handmade pocket altar. Created from reclaimed tweed clothing, denim, vintage-style lace and carefully stitched embellishments, each piece unfolds to reveal a portable place for reflection, intention setting and treasured keepsakes.
A lace pocket at the bottom holds a handwritten intention, prayer, affirmation or meaningful slip of paper. The miniature denim envelope keeps a favorite small crystal tucked safely inside while the hand-sewn evil eye offers a traditional symbol of watchfulness and protection.
A natural cowrie shell represents abundance, resilience and connection to the sea. A glass evil eye bead completes the altar as a symbolic charm traditionally associated with guarding against envy and unwanted energy. Fold it closed to carry in a bag or keep it nearby as a comforting personal talisman.
