Another week, another influx of creative and unique designers.
Beau & Arrow designer Kelly Bishop spent four years designing jewelry for high street brands in the U.K. before striking out on her own. After designing for a mass market, Kelly says she wanted to start creating pieces that were special to her. Though she is still attuned to high street trends, Kelly’s jewelry is now made to order. Each handmade Beau & Arrow piece is completely unique.
Moran Porat Jewelry is unusual and spectacular. Designer Moran takes inspiration from classic, traditional jewelry and uses textiles to create looks that are entirely new. She carefully captures the shapes of faceted gemstones using fabric, allowing her to create earrings and necklaces that emulate dramatic gemstone jewelry. Each piece is beautiful and intriguing and sure to make a lasting impression, pun intended.
For Colombian native Sandra Reiman, Sandra Cadavid represents a dream come true. The designer launched her handbag line in 2011, inspired by “the architecture, culture, history and people of Cartagena, Colombia.” Based in the U.S., Sandra works with experienced artisans in Colombia to create classic, luxurious bags.
