Pearl Warren's bicycle from Little Fires Everywhere
In the eight episode series, Reese Witherspoon stars as 'Elena Richardson', whose seemingly picture-perfect family life gets upended with the arrival of Kerry Washington's artist 'Mia Warren' and her daughter 'Pearl' (played by Lexi Underwood). The story explores secrets, motherhood, art and identity and the dangers in believing that following the rules can avert disaster. I believe this decorated bicycle was used by Pearl in the series.
