The Secret Ingredient of Personal Style: Fragrance
Just as you curate your wardrobe to reflect your personality, your choice of fragrance speaks volumes about your individuality. True style isn’t just what people see - it’s also what they sense. By incorporating fragrance into your overall aesthetic, you create a multidimensional expression of who you are.
To Be or Not to Be …
Fashion is a fascinating cycle - one moment a style is the height of trendiness, and the next, it’s deemed outdated. But should we feel compelled to follow every new trend in clothing, jewellery, and handbags? Or is there something to be said for forging our own unique style?
Styling Your Handbag
A handmade silk handbag transcends seasonal trends and is a timeless accessory, outlasting many other fashion items in both style and quality. Whether you pair it with a whimsical summer dress, a T-shirt, jeans and blazer look or an elegant evening outfit, carrying one is like holding a piece of art - something uniquely yours that no machine could ever replicate.
As you step out with your chosen handbag, let it speak for you - whether it whispers elegance, shouts boldness, or tells the story of its magical journey. It’s more than an accessory; it’s a treasure that stands the test of time.

The Colour of Nature
The “Meadow” necklace and earrings feature a series of carefully looped stitches that mimic the gentle undulations of a grassy field, giving it an organic, flowing appearance. Embedded within this delicate crochet framework are vibrant green beads, crystals and pearls that sparkle like dew-kissed leaves in a meadow. The copper wire, with its warm, earthy tone, evokes the natural elements of the earth, creating a harmonious balance between metal and nature.

Wire crochet jewellery is a striking blend of artistry and craftsmanship and a fantastic way to add a unique touch to your wardrobe. From casual outings with friends to business meetings and elegant evenings, here are some tips on how to style wire crocheted jewellery and one-of-a-kind statement pieces.
Wire crochet jewellery is incredibly versatile and can be styled for any occasion. Remember, each handcrafted piece tells a story – choose one that reflects yours.
Crochet meets Upcycling
A hand crocheted sari silk handbag is a conversation piece, a wearable work of art that tells a story. These bags are more than just an accessory, they are a celebration of tradition, of sustainability and individuality. Whether you’re drawn to the vibrant colours, tactile textures or the idea of taking a small yet impactful step towards a more eco-conscious future, these bags are a testament to the beauty of upcycled fashion.
By choosing a handbag made from recycked sari silk ribbon, you’re not just investing in a beautiful accessory, but you are also supporting sustainable fashion. Upcycling sari silk into ribbon not only reduces waste, but breathes new life into fabric that would otherwise be discarded.
Embellishments in Wire Jewellery
Beads are incredibly versatile embellishments used in creating wire crochet Jewellery, and I love working with them. They offer endless possibilities in terms of colour, shape, and material. Some of my favorites are Murano and other Lampwork beads, which are exquisite glass beads that add a special touch to any piece. Depending on their color and translucency, they can create either subtle or bold accents, perfect for adding a pop of color or sparkle to necklaces and earrings. I believe that embellishments in wire crochet jewellery elevate each piece into a true work of art, showcasing the beauty of handmade craftsmanship. Whether you’re drawn to the sparkle of crystals, the sophistication of pearls, or the natural elegance of gemstones, each piece of jewelry will tell its own unique story.
