Harlequin

Hi!!!  I’ve been so bad at keeping this blog up-to-date lately!  Can’t blame me for having too much fun during my recent trip to Hong Kong, hehehe!

Hence I do owe you all a very belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  Hope you all had a smashing year-end holiday and fantastic start to the new year!

With the new year, there are also some new changes and new things coming up, but more on that later!  For now I would like to reveal my latest collection – The Harlequin Collection!  As a little kid, I was fascinated by the harlequins that I saw on quaint fairytales on tv (have no idea which movies they were!), and I’m still fascinated by their costumes up til this day.  This collection is a simple take on their diamond-shaped pattern, pompoms and tear motif.  They are all hand-saddle-stitched and hand-painted on vegetable-tanned leather, and hangs from linen string.  Enjoy!

Sneak Peek of Upcoming Collection

I’ve just finished with the samples of my upcoming collection and can’t resist posting some sneak peeks of the lovelies.  Now, I’ll need to get busy with the packaging, photoshoot, lookbook, production, and start emailing lots of people!  This collection will be very different from my previous collection – this collection is brighter, bigger, happier, and more colourful, yeay!  It is inspired by medals & rosettes – and hopefully that will make everyone feel ecstatic & awesome like they had just won an award or championship!  :D

The Launch – Outré Forest Treasures

My new jewellery collection is finally launching today!  After months of designing and prototyping and planning…and the last few weeks of long-working-hours, it’s finally here!  I hope you all love it as much as I do!  :)

To view more photos of the jewellery and for purchases, head on over to my Etsy store!  Thanks so much!  :)

You might remember the Countdown Competition to guess the launch date of my jewellery collection.  Now, nearing the launch date, I am holding another competition (with a prize!)

Have a guess – is the pouch really big, or is the pumpkin really tiny?  Hahahah
