Wedding Gifts
A Jewish wedding is the formation of a new household within the line of households that came before. The gifts that mark it are not interchangeable with gifts for any other wedding. They carry the weight of continuity, the recognition of lineage, and a wish for the home being built.
Couture pieces work as wedding gifts for the couple because the symbols (Lion of Judah, Star of David, Hamsa) are exactly what couples want to carry into a new home. The pieces also work as gifts for the parents of the bride or groom, who carry the weight of the day in a quieter way.
For the couple (matched gifts)
Matched Hamsa Hoodies ($440 pair)
Men's and women's Hamsa embroidered hoodies in matching colourway. The Hamsa is the symbol of protection for the new home.
Matched Lion Spirit T-shirts ($180 pair)
Men's and women's Lion of Judah T-shirts in matching colourway.
Matched Denim Caps ($180 pair)
A his-and-hers cap pairing in the same Star of David or Hamsa motif. The simplest matched-couple gesture that still reads as a designed gift.
For the parents of the bride or groom
Letterform Hoodie — Men ($220)
For the father of the bride or the father of the groom. The kind of recognition gift exchanged between in-laws after the chuppah.
Hamsa Embroidered Hoodie — Women ($220)
For the mother of the bride or mother of the groom. A protection gift from one mother to another.
A note on matched-pair gifting
A his-and-hers pair from the same symbol family is the most considered wedding gift. The couple receives the pair as one composed gesture rather than two unrelated items. The matched pair often becomes the piece they wear when they travel as a couple, which is exactly the function the gift should serve.
