The Inspiration: This colourway captures the Clipper Butterfly — that striking day-flying butterfly whose jewel-toned wings are an unexpected delight in meadows and clifftops. The name Fairy Dust comes from the folklore of Ireland, where butterflies were believed to be fairies in disguise, carrying magic and wonder wherever they flew.
The Palette: A variegated blend of soft blue, green, pink, and grey, speckled with vivid gold and dark blue flecks — like the iridescent wings of a Clipper butterfly catching the summer light.
