Dare To Be Different.
All Lulu Guinness stores are designed by Lulu herself and provide the perfect showcase for the entire range of jewellery and accessories.
Lulu's collectable bags have been described as 'tomorrow's treasures' and
have become permanent fixtures in many museums . The Florist Basket and the Violet
Hanging Basket are just two of the designs that have been included in the permanent fashion collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. They have also been subjects of two exhibitions in Sotheby’s London and New York.
Meanwhile her bags are seen on the arms of an ever-expanding list of celebrities, amongst them are Dita von Teese, Helena Bonham Carter, Katy Perry, Sophie Dahl, Rachel Weisz, Keira Knightley, Sienna Miller, Agyness Deyn, Alexa Chung.
Despite her success Lulu has never had any formal design training apart from a year's foundation course at art school and a long-standing passion for design and fashion. In 1989, she left her job in video production to start her own business from the basement of the house in west London.
Lulu's strong personal style and her original ideas have played a large part in her success with her design inspiration springing partly from retro glamour and partly from modern chic.
In 2009, Lulu Guinness was awarded The Independent Handbag Designer Awards ICONOCLAST Award for Lifetime Achievement in Handbag Design.
Nostalgic and evocative of childhood
Kirstin Ash's collections are distinctive in design with antique finishes, quirky animals and playful silhouettes forming a signature style. Each collection has a story of its own but draws from a common inspiration of vintage curios, ordinary and obscure objects, children's books and Parisian aesthetics. From small beginnings in 2005, Kirstin Ash released her label into the New Zealand and Australian fashion scene, and her jewellery is now carried by the most high end boutiques in Australasia including The Corner Shop.
Poetry hand-engraved onto precious metals is how San Francisco-based jewellery designer Jeanine Payer creates her collections of emotionally engaging yet subtle jewellery. There are few things as intimate as wearing poetry against your skin, as many of her clients can attest. Her international following includes Jessica Lange, Susan Sarandon, Julia Roberts, Mick Jagger and Johnny Depp. Payer has also worked closely to design custom pieces for Meg Ryan, Seal, Sheryl Crow, and Debra Messing.
Growing up in Southern California, Payer was surrounded by an artistic family who encouraged her to pursue creative expression in all its forms, whether it was keeping journals or studying sculpture and drawing. “I believe in pieces having a wonder about them. I like making things that are at once both powerful and private,” says Payer.
One of Payer's first creations was designed as a gift: a tiny book engraved with a beloved poem by Rainer Maria Rilke that only the wearer knew was there. Today, Payer’s designs continue to be graced with the words of both contemporary and ancient voices such as Emerson, Rumi, Lao Tzu, Rilke, and Ovid. "Each person brings their own particular meaning to the jewellery, therefore each piece becomes highly endowed," says the designer. "These pieces become talismanic as they are chosen to mark emotional and philosophical moments in each person’s life."
Payer and her highly-skilled team of fifteen metalsmiths craft three collections a year in a bustling atelier in the historic Phelan Building San Francisco’s original jewellery centre. The jewellery is on display in her retail store, located just a few floors below the workshop, as well as in over 250 specialty stores worldwide including Fred Segal in Los Angeles, Barneys New York and Japan...and of course, So Charming!
Wit. Wisdom. Serious Fun.
As the daughter of renowned furniture designer Vladimir Kagan and needlework diva Erica Wilson design runs in Jessica’s veins.

Collected by everyone from Hollywood starlets to savvy business-women wanting to deliver a subtle wrist-borne message, the JKC bracelets are now sold in over 300 boutiques and stores in 22 countries.
