Mirrette began with a birthday dinner.
Daria was one of my closest friends. We were born four days apart and celebrated our birthdays together for years. The first year I came home from that dinner without her, my arms were full of candles. Because candles are what girls give each other.
I lit one that night and wished it could hold what I was feeling. It couldn’t. So I set out to make the kind that could.
During her treatment in Paris, Daria told me she kept seeing the number four. A spiritual healer told her the number held a comforting meaning for her. She passed in Paris at 4:44 in the afternoon. The message reached me that morning, an ocean away, at 11:11. Those moments stayed with me, becoming quiet reminders of her presence and the connection we shared.
Long before Mirrette, there was another kind of reflection. Melissa, my identical twin, has been my mirror my entire life. We arrived seven minutes apart and have moved through the world side by side ever since. Having someone who reflects you back to yourself changes the way you see things. You learn what it means to give and receive, to see and be seen.
That idea of reflection became part of Mirrette too. The name comes from mirror. Its meaning comes from what we reflect back to one another.
The Twin Emblem carries that symbolism forward: two women holding vessels, pouring into one another. A reminder that we are strengthened in both giving and receiving.
It began with them. It is made for you.
May Mirrette find you at the right moment.
