We're crazy about crafting and making stuff but if the thought of sitting in all night stitching doesn’t sound like much fun then come and check out our all new Speedcrafting kits. Whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned pro, you'll be the proud owner of a hot handmade fashion accessory in no more than 10 minutes! Our first collection of Speedcrafting kits feature an adorable collection of bows.

Once you’ve selected your fave bow you can stitch it onto a chic beret, a sweet birdie bowtie tote bag or make a cute brooch. Et voila! You’ve done the D.I.Y dash and made a gift for you or a friend in a flash!
PLUS! We'll be taking Speedcrafting out on the road to two of London biggest festive events - We Make at Chelsea Town Hall and the Super Christmas Market in Somerset House. Hope you can join us!
We love dinky-winky charms and creating a series of little glossy golden necklets to layer up with our trinket pendants and vintage chains has been dreamy. To share the love even more we have a jaw dropping opening special offer - 3 for 2! Just add your fave three pieces to the shopping cart and then enter the discount code TREATS during the checkout process. Your choices are...
This is our mini homage to the girl of our dreams Debbie Harry! Whatever the season, whatever the weather, Blondie is one of our ultimate pin up gals and you'll probably find us bopping away to her album whilst we're making our Call Me necklaces! The ultra slim line glossy golden charm dangles perfectly from a skinny diamond trace necklet.
Back by popular demand, for the third season running we have re-vamped our best selling Fang necklace. Long term fans will probably still cherish their red glitter enamel version from our first EVER collection Go Go Girls From Outerspace. A few lucky fans who made it to the Clothes Show Live last year or who were very speedy on the website will have snapped up the large red mirrored acrylic version. So for one LAST time here we have a dinky glossy golden version with cut out fang section. It's a dead pretty everyday kinda pendant and again it's only produced in a limited quantity...
We're a studio full of bicycle lovin' gals and Bicyclette is the bike of our dreams with a pennant flag blowing in the wind. Forget the rain and remember sunshine bicycle rides along country lanes. Ding! Ding!
Living in London and loving Ponies isn't a match made in heaven which probably explains why we create so much horse jewellery! Pony is a sweet lil' glossy golden charm and your cute confidante in life and love.
Simple, sweet and the perfect pendant for lovers and romantics. Heart to Heart is a delicate charm which dangles from a skinny diamond trace necklet which winks in the light.
This little Snowflake charm necklace is for all of us who are forever dreaming of a white Christmas! But if frolicking in the frosty white snow isn't on your winter wishlist we still think you're going to fall head over heels for this sweet lil' snowflake necklet.
Our new collection features an adorable selection of trinket brooches and romantic necklaces which are ready to adorn vintage cardigans with messy plaits and floral frocks with rosy cheeks! The pieces are inspired by our collection of folk figurines, kitchenalia and our devotion to all things romantic. This pretty as a picture collection is handcrafted with love from hand varnished walnut, glossy black acrylic and a vintage look gold toned ajoure detail. Make yourself a mug of hot chocolate and browse through our latest batch of charming delights...click here!
Looks like December is going to be crazy busy! Visit our events page for more information. If you can't join us then follow us on twitter for live tweets from each shindig, photos, competitions and more!
Winter is officially here folks so it's time to dig out your big ole winter coats, snuggly sweaters and chunky knits! But they're in need of a little sparkle, right? That's why we've designed two frosty glitter brooches made from a chunky opal acrylic that are perfect to jazz up your woolly winter wardrobe! Say hallo to Polar Bear and Sugar Mouse... both are handmade using a special ever lasting glitter topper and a dazzling swarovski eye detail.
We've been invited back to Somerset House this Christmas for the third year in a row to take part in the Super Christmas Market which is brimming with the best up and coming design talent from across London. With just a few shopping days left til the big day come and join us for some ice skating, mulled wine and gift buying. We will again be curating one of the rooms involved with the market and will let you know all of the details very soon!
Peckham-based creative collective Garudio-Studiage are hosting the first of our Christmas events which takes place in the eerily wonderful setting of the Crypt of St Pancras church. Come and visit us along with an ace selection of London's indie design talent to get some Christmas shopping done away from the hustle and bustle of central London. We'll be taking along all our best selling handmade jewels including the collections Midnight Forest, Gabba Gabba Miaow, Tutti Frutti, Mini necklaces, Maxi brooches, a huge hamper of rockin' sale goodies and new jewellery that hasn't even been launched yet...oooh.
It's free entrance with mulled wine, cake, lots of festive jolliness plus you can see the latest Garudio-Studiage group exhibition called "Fantasy Zoo" where 30 artists and designers have received an imaginary budget of £10,000 to ‘buy’ animals anywhere they can find them and create the zoo of their dreams in any way they choose.
Should be fun, see you there! xxx
