But, Wantland’s favorite creation is a red wool hat with hand-painted black coyotes and white moons.Ī post shared by Luna Bloom | Tucson Arizona the shop’s customer base began to grow, so did the amount of work that needed to be done. One of Wantland's signature designs is a hand-painted snake that curves around the wide-brim hat.
“And I had just bought a new hat and then I remember looking at it like ‘Man, it'd be so much sicker if it had like a snake wrapped around the top.’” “I remember talking to my mom one day on the phone and she's like, ‘It's a shame you're not painting more and using your talents,’ you know how moms are,” Wantland says. And I thought, ‘OK, this could be something cool’ and just felt drawn to.”īut the idea of making the change was inspired by someone close to Wantland who wanted to see her utilize her art and fashion skills - her mom. It was something that I hadn't seen and wasn't being done. “As I got older, I would be commissioned to do work here and there and just, eventually, kind of blended the two worlds together and just had this creative idea. “It started from a whole life of really loving fashion and really loving art, that's the two things I did my whole life,” she says.
Wantland started Luna Bloom after she decided to leave her job in education and follow her lifelong passions for fashion and art.
