Two Turtle Doves: Fassbinder by Sonja Fries

There are 11 days left until Christmas, have you bought all of your gifts yet?


On the second day of Giftmas, my true love gave to me: Two turtle doves, traditionally.

According to lore, turtle doves symbolize two lovers. While the birds embroidered upon this vintage silk purse ($15), available for purchase at Fassbinder by Sonja Fries, may or may not be "turtle doves," per se, you can find many interpretations of the theme at Fassbinder's pop-up shop—such as the scarves handsewn with lyrics from songs like, "Because the Night" by Patti Smith.

Also: Fassbinder will be hosting "Mulled Wine Wednesday" on Dec. 19, from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. with authentic, hot glühwein for sipping while you shop.
