exploring around town. MINI: Do your boys show any interest in your
signs or products?
de-
DJ: They are very excited that my husband and I
not only get to work together but that we do so in a creative space. My boys love looking through all the fabric design print-outs, and they’ll often spot a Petunia Pickle Bottom product on the street even before I do. MINI: What would you suggest as the perfect Baby
Shower gift?
DJ: I love to give one of our Boxy Backpacks filled
with books. It’s a versatile choice for mom and a timeless gift for a new baby.
MINI: What Petunia handbag might we ex-
pect to see you carrying and what PPB items would we find inside? DJ: I am currently bouncing between two bags
from the new Petunia collection: the Bisou Bowler in cut-velvet fabric and the laser-cut leather Heathrow Holdall. Whichever bag I’m using, inside you would find my Petunia Westward Wallet, my PPB Powder Room Case full of makeup essentials, a pair sunglasses, a bottle of coral-colored nail polish and my iPhone with a PPB Adorn case. Of course, there are also always snacks for the boys and the odd matchbox car or little toy floating in there as well. ■
