The Dark Academia Box

Discover a decadent, dark academia debut about revenge, desire, and the sinister secrets that lurk amidst the students of an elusive boarding school in OwlCrate's Dark Academia limited edition box!. This box has items in it inspired by If We Were Villains, Dead's Poet's Society, Babel, Scholomance, Picture of Dorian Gray, and The Secret History. These books have been added to my TBR if they weren't already there.

Transport yourself into the depths of the Dellecher Shakespeare Conservatory with this tea set, inspired by If We Were Villains! This gorgeously gilded portable tea set has been lovingly illustrated by @nailcgrant ⁠and contains a tea strainer, teapot, teacup, and saucer- all designed to stack together.

Seize the day with this caffeinated tea, flavored with whiskey-inspired flavors and tears. This tea blend has been inspired by Dead Poet's Society and lovingly crafted by @riddlesteashoppe.⁠

Do you have secrets to keep safe? This Locking Journal is the perfect place to store them. Illustrated by @vera.drmanovski ⁠this journal features a stunningly foiled design inspired by Babel.

Inspired by The Scholomance series, this pen will help get you through both treacherous school days and tedious exams. The designs have been lovingly created by @divineliterary ⁠

This folding hand mirror will capture your visage- but only for a moment. Inspired by The Picture of Dorian Gray, the back of the item features a beautiful Victorian-style floriography painting by @marblenxxart ⁠, while the front of the mirror shows a quote designed by @divineliterary. The mirror can be used like a traditional hand mirror with a straight handle or as a mirror that stands by itself. Once folded, its handle will create a stand upon which the mirror sits.

Lovingly illustrated by @timbeeren and inspired by The Secret History, this Hampen College tote bag will carry all your needs. Whether you're simply trying to survive classics class or contemplating the inevitable slip from obsession to betrayal, you'll find plenty of space to store your secrets in this bag.

Overall, the Dark Academia items were good, and I am excited that I got them. I was delighted with each of the items and the thought that was put into them. My favorite item this month was the teapot. I love the design and the fact that it perfectly stacks.

I hope you all enjoyed this review of the OwlCrate Dark Academia box. Check out my book review for Boys With Sharp Teeth. I am excited to use all of my themed items, some as decorations on my shelves!
