About

Taxil Hoax is an artisanal alchemist brand rooted in ancient culture, myth, magic, and the natural world. We create talismans to adorn the body, our altar, which is our sacred space. Each piece is like a story, unspoken but more powerful than words.  They are ritualistic adornments meant to honor our ancestors and our bodies.

Embedded in magic, the pieces are like unearthed treasures, or artifacts waiting to speak their story. In every piece, we mindfully evoke feelings of beauty, nostalgia, and ancient mysterious realms.


Lola has been making art of various sorts her entire life, living half in her imagination, the other half in history books and old fables. She believes that by surrounding ones self with beauty and wonder, you can create the dreamy world that helps fulfill your happiness.

Taxil Hoax was born in 2011 while Lola was working on a degree in Environmental Studies in San Francisco. She began her journey pieceing together colleceted antique trinkets in an old ammo factory turned artist loft.

Her passion to create wearable art continued and grew as she learned different techniques to create timeless pieces. She also worked with wildlife for much of her life as well as an archaelogist. These parts of her can be seen in her work as they are still an integral part of who she is and what she is passionate about.
She lives with her two children, in the mountains of California. Peacefully immersed in nature amongst the wild ones and cosnantly allowing curiosty to pave the way. 

"For the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black, for the absolute can only exist as two gods; darkness being necessary for light to serve as its foil as the pedestal is necessary to the statue, and the brake to the locomotive...." Leo Taxil
