Market of Stars Lovelight Opera Duster (Full Length)

ntroducing Lovelight, an enchanted woodland fairytale that features the magical work of artist Charles van Sandwyck. A world-renowned illustrator and writer, van Sandwyck is beloved for his luminous, old-world drawings and watercolours, bringing to life fairies, woodland creatures, and the secret corners of nature with a sense of wonder and nostalgia. His work, reminiscent of classic Golden Age illustrators, is steeped in folklore, whimsy, and an almost-forgotten gentleness. We are deeply honoured and overjoyed to be collaborating with Charles, whose work has long been a meaningful source of inspiration for us here at Market of Stars! 

Lovelight was created using a collage of several pieces of Charles’ work, including a majestic guardian swallow carrying a lantern that cradles a glowing star, a delicate watercolour moth, and a star-dappled fawn nestled in the moonlit woods. The whole collection is edged with a piece of poetry by van Sandwyck, which wraps the wearer in words as soft as the dawn: I had a dream in dark of night, before the hills were kissed with light. Like so much of Charles’ work, Lovelight is a tribute to the radiance each of us carries within — the love, empathy, and creative spark. It is the glow of a lantern swinging in the night, the starlight on the path, and the soft brilliance of a heart that chooses kindness.
