may beauty arise

EST. 2025

The idea for Lottura began to sprout life in the Spring of 2025. After months of deep discussion, the concept blossomed and gained more heart, and with it was born our first issue in September 2025.

Our founder, Kristine, is a wife and mother to two sons and a daughter, Lottie. Lottura was named for, and inspired by, the gift of raising a daughter; that she may learn to stand firm in truth, pursue goodness, and delight in beauty.

We believe that beauty points to truth —- that when you delight in it, no matter what, truth and goodness will live on. From our own experience, we understand that social media and the internet brings so much noise into our daily lives, crowds the mind, and makes it hard to make any decisions with intuition or confidence. There is such a longing within women to live with peace and integrity, and a deep desire that our families experience that as well. Our hope is that by offering a tangible, simple, and quiet way of content consumption, it will inspire you to go forth about your day with confidence and peace. The choice to change your heart, and the heart of your home, begins with the decisions you make for yourself.

We hope that we can be a reliable and consistent resource for community, ideas, and general inspiration. We are each like you - wives, mothers, daughters. It is of the longings of our own hearts that we bring you Lottura.

OUR STORY

may beauty arise

At Lottura, we believe that true beauty reaches the soul, brings peace and changes the world.

We believe that what we choose to consume directs our hearts and homes.

Our hope is that we may be a force against the world - a force of peace, calm and deep inspiration.

Instead of searching aimlessly, may we use what is before us and turn it into something more.

Because beauty is right before our eyes, we only need to be still.
