WirbelWind - Magical Colourful Light
Inspired by the dynamic movement and energy of wind patterns, Opal Wirbel Whirl captures the essence of swirling breezes in this captivating collection. Each colourway evokes different aspects of this natural phenomenon—from gentle morning zephyrs in soft pastels to dramatic storm fronts in rich, moody tones.
