Frida Kahlo's Love Letters
*Lowest price in past 30 days. Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout
‘I don’t know how to write love letters. But I wanted to tell you that my whole being opened for you. Since I fell in love with you everything is transformed and is full of beauty . . . love is like an aroma, like a current, like rain’
Since her death Frida Kahlo has become an iconic cultural figure, renowned for her expressive, highly personal paintings. Her art drew on her often tumultuous private life and while painting was her main form of creative expression, she was also a prolific and moving letter writer.
Though married to fellow artist Diego Rivera for most of her life, they both had numerous affairs, and Frida wrote frequently to her lovers. This book includes a selection of her letters, some of which were also decorated with small drawings. Many examples are reproduced here in facsimile, together with archival images and examples of her art.
As well as examples sent to her first love, Alejandro Gomez Arias, and to her husband Diego Rivera, there are letters written to several other people, including Julien Levy, Nickolas Muray and Jose Bartoli. Taken together they create a very intimate portrait of her personal life as well as showing another side to her creativity.
Beautifully designed and illustrated, this book makes the perfect gift for anyone looking for new insights into the life and work of Frida Kahlo or who simply find her an inspiring figure.

FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Who are you guys? Are you part of a chain?
We are a Finnish, family-owned business and something of a cult favourite among fashion insiders — proudly female-led and independent since 2008. Our shop is based in Helsinki, and no, we are not part of a chain.
With three brick & mortar shops, My o My finally has an online boutique, too. It took us a while — but all good things are worth waiting for. Read more about us and our story here.
Where do your products come from?
Most of the products here at My o My are found within the EU — Finland, Denmark,
Sweden, France, Italy, and the UK — with a few special finds from the US
as well.
Behind the wheel is someone with an eclectic taste and
impeccable eye for colours, so you never can be quite sure! But the
focus is finding unique, useful, yet beautiful objects that are
thoughtful, well-made and lasting, and thus make the world a little bit
better place.
I saw a product on your website earlier and now it's gone :( Can I still buy it?
Yes — often you can!
But remember: Finders keepers, losers weepers! As a small business, we don’t keep huge stock, so sometimes items do sell out — and once they’re gone, they might stay gone.
That said, we’re pretty nimble. If the item’s still in production, we can often restock it when there's genuine demand. Just drop us a message at customercare@myomy.fi and we’ll check for you.
Where's my package or where do you ship?
Orders within Finland usually arrive in 2–4 business days. EU deliveries typically take 4–8 business days, depending on your location.
Please note that during peak times (like Christmas), delivery may take a bit longer! We thank you for your patience.
But if nothing's happening after 4 weekdays (homeland deliveries) or 8 weekdays (outside of Finland), contact us at customer care.
We ship from Finland to all EU countries. Sadly, we don’t currently ship outside the EU — but maybe one day!
How long do you keep local pick-ups?
So great that you asked! We’ll hold click & collect orders for 14 days from the day the ready for pick-up notification is sent. After that, we’ll assume the items have been abandoned unless we hear from you. Uncollected order does not count for a return.
The 14-day return period starts when you pick up your order from the store.
If you can’t collect you purchase in time, just message us — we’re happy to keep it safe if you are away or unwell. But please let us know!
But hey — we’re a small team with limited space. So please don’t select pick-up right before heading off on a month-long holiday. Or, if you do (who doesn't love vacations), send a friend, neighbour, sibling, parent or colleague to pick up your order — if you trust them and they have your name + order number, we trust them too.
