Some hate pigeons for their droppings but in many cultures around the world, bird droppings are seen as an unexpected sign of luck and prosperity. It may seem odd, even messy, but when a bird chooses you as its target, it’s believed to mark you as someone soon to receive abundance. Their droppings, descending from the skies, symbolize a blessing from above—an unpredictable gift from nature or even the divine. It’s a quirky reminder that good fortune can arrive in the most unexpected ways, often wrapped in gold or discomfort.

Chez Pistilia, we’ve turned luck into fashion. Our latest charm? A nod to the sky’s most misunderstood messengers: pigeons. With unique, handcrafted, upcycled pieces, we invite you to wear a symbol of unexpected fortune right on your favorite outfit. And because we believe even bird droppings deserve a little rebranding, part of our profits will go to organizations that protect and care for urban pigeons.
