I think I've never uploaded any photos of myself as an accessories designer- more specifically as a leather handbag designer. It all started about three years ago, mostly in thought. I was in a class on weaving on an artisan's loom to create different textiles, and as I was learning I was thinking how great they would look on a nicely designed leather purse. So about a year after that is when the dream started to take form in reality, and my first collection emerged. I thought I wanted something different every time I created, so that a) every piece would be unique, and b) I wanted to experiment. Around a bit over half-a-year afterwards my second collection came into place, using Pre-Colombine pieces washed in gold in replacement of the textiles of the first collection. My third collection, which hasn't been out yet, is an introduction to the mixture between leather, silk and embroidery. The collection has been delayed, but I hope that sometime in the near future I can make it a reality as well :) Here's to hoping!

Pushmataaha Shahaka Ring On sale for $149.50 (AUD)


Rings are the one accessory I never leave my house without. You can find me without earrings, no necklace, bracelets or sometimes even watch...but you'll see a ring (or more) in my hand most of the time. I received probably the most beautiful ring I own to this time as a gift last week from a very dear friend of my mum, by a Colombian jewelry store called LA CANO (site is under maintenance but you can also find them on Facebook). I think I've posted some of these before, and they've been on the market for a while, but unfortunately I haven't had the resources to buy any yet (my next purchase will definitely be the YSL Arty Ovale Ring). Also, in my shopping list, is this beautiful La Mer watch!
