NEW WAYS

As we carefully negotiate life post-lockdown we’ve been exploring new ways to work – and this includes brand image and photography too.

As makers of accessories and jewellery, we feel it is essential to convey our designs in context and in real life, and preferably on a model. Having worked with Nadia Khivrych previously, we know she possesses an aesthetic which suits our brand perfectly and also embodies a strong style and attitude which brings a great professionalism to our collaborations.

Therefore we have recently completed a ‘remote’ shoot with her, whereupon we discussed mood, looks and settings and shared ideas boards to set the tone. We sent samples and garments and she then organised, directed and modelled our products throughout a lifestyle shoot. 

Once we'd selected key images she went on to edit them and share them with us digitally.

We are thrilled with the results and couldn’t recommend her highly enough. And we're already looking forward to the next project...

WELL WISHES

Firstly I’d like to send our love and thoughts to those suffering and those who have lost loved ones.

I wanted to quickly share our approach to the current Coronavirus situation in the UK and around the world. 

Our studio is based at home and therefore already isolated and we are taking all precautions as recommended by the UK government. We are currently well and fulfilling all orders on existing stock, however we will not be making bespoke pieces or taking wholesale orders during this time.

Postage for items will be less frequent in order to reduce contact - we will only be mailing out twice weekly which may mean your order takes a little longer to reach you. Please bear with us (and a huge thank you to the Post Office staff for keeping small businesses trading during these uncertain times).

We will be monitoring the situation very carefully and in the meantime please keep shopping: for all  independent makers this is going to be a challenging time so please support all of your local small businesses wherever you can.

Thank you. Stay indoors, look out for each other and take care.

Jenny.
