Some tears are meant to be remembered.

Inspired by Steampunk Republic’s “Gather Up the Pieces,” itself inspired by Dorothy Parker’s poem “Threnody,” this design turns one of the poem’s most haunting romantic images into wearable art.

Watercolor lips formed from flowing teardrops in shades of aqua, blue, and lavender surround the words:

“Lips that taste of tears are best for kissing.”

Bittersweet, romantic, and touched with melancholy, the design captures the emotional world where love, heartbreak, and memory refuse to stay neatly separated.

The Past. Amplified.
