5 out of 5 starsA beautiful one of a kind piece that is a lovely addition to the room. The pictures don't do it justice as the wings and flowers glisten in the light. The seller was also a pleasure to deal with.

5 out of 5 starsI am so happy when this arrived! It's so beautiful and well worth it. Unexpectedly the shipping was so fast, I was expected at least 2 months. 10/10 would recommend this.

5 out of 5 starsI bought this for my mum as a last-minute-ish birthday present, it was dispatched quickly, arrived just in time, and most importantly she absolutely loved it! Plus the handwritten card (with my own words) went down a treat too! Thank you VERY much! 🦋

5 out of 5 starsI fell in love with this beautiful piece and it was the perfect gift for my mum who loves butterflies. Lou's work is stunning and the attention to detail and quality is fantastic. This is the second piece I have from Mariposa London and I couldn't recommend it highly enough. The perfect mix of nature and geometric shapes that bring so much joy. Love it!

5 out of 5 starsSo what can I say, unfortunately, my first order got lost unfortunately. But contacting Lou shes been amazing offered a free replacement and also a lino print, Lou completely trusted me and has great customer service.
She's been great at communication and the new embroidery is beautiful i almost dont even want to give the person whos present it. :)
The quality is amazing and she really is so talented and my free lino print was a great bonus!
Highly recommened xxx -
