The Orchard Collection

The Orchard Collection:Taking inspiration from fruit packaging, 50's textile designs and the tropical carnival & cabaret costumes of carmen Miranda & josephine baker, the latest collection features hummingbirds, orchard fruit & flowers in an exotic, opulent & colourful celebration of sunshine.. All lovingly handcrafted at her studio home in Hackney, London, these collectable pieces begin as original illustrations which are screen printed onto fine coloured leathers, and carefully assembled into collaged necklaces, brooches & hair adornments, finished with a mix of vintage glass-beaded chain, reproduction brass belcher chain and gold-plated clasps.

The Amulet Colllection

The new Amulet Collection is a re-interpretation of universal tokens of good fortune, protection & strength. The heart, horseshoe, & mystical all-seeing eye together with holding hands, wings & roses are all reassuringly familiar symbols of love, good will, good fortune & optimism and have traditionally been given; worn throughout humanity. Whilst drawing influence from ancient egyptian heiroglyphs, mexican votive offerings and Victorian sentimental jewellery, the amulet range gives a contemporary spin to traditional charms, with experimental use of materials & techniques. Necklaces, earrings, brooches & bolo ties are fashioned from screen-printed and foil-embossed leather to make iconic yet wearable statement pieces & perfect gifts.
