The stunning new American Museum of Natural History x Etsy collaboration features a collection of handmade goods inspired by the museum's archives by 22 Etsy designers.
The collection includes tiny jewelry pouches with handpainted detailing inspired by a single egg from the Museum's Ornithology collection and porcelain pendant in the shape of an iceberg that was inspired by the Hall of Gems.
The delicate and antiquated collection pays homage to the legendary museum and its place in the hearts of New Yorkers and fashion fans alike. Items designed by the 22 Etsy wholesalers include jewelry, home decor, children's costumes, cosmetics and more.
The release of this new Etsy collaboration comes in the same week as the Brooklyn-based DIY marketplace filing for a $100 million IPO.
