The Story of Winter's Spells ☾
Winter's Spells is a designer studio founded in Berlin by Maria Denise Vacante — an Italian designer who has been fascinated by the mystical, magical and fantasy worlds since she was a child.
Deeply drawn to witchy and gothic aesthetics as well as imaginary fantasy realms, Maria Denise founded Winter's Spells in Berlin, inspired by the city's unmistakable atmosphere and creative uniqueness. Each design carries a whole world inside and is born from a long, dedicated creative process — from selecting the base materials to achieving the exact tones of colours, shadows and patterns.
Because every single piece is handmade and hand-painted freehand, no two creations are ever the same. Alongside the signature studio collection, she also loves creating personalized, bespoke pieces on request for big events, special celebrations, or the quiet intimacy of your home.
Over the years, Winter's Spells creations have crossed several seas and reached many countries. Globally, collectors choose these works either as decorative art pieces to display and preserve, or as daily mugs that become their lifelong favourites. Every creation is packed with meticulous care using recycled and reused cardboard against waste, and shipped locally or via trusted partners across the EU and worldwide. Due to recent regulatory changes in some countries, automated shipping may be disabled at checkout — please get in touch if you have a special request.
