About Us

Welcome to my studio. I’m Kathleen, a designer and maker of handcrafted wedding accessories and jewellery, specialising in pieces that feel personal, meaningful, and beautifully made.

What began as a small creative outlet has grown into a full studio where I work alongside trusted apprentices, each of us focused on creating detailed, delicately made adornments for brides around the world. My work has evolved over many years and, along the way, I’ve developed a number of unique hand-making techniques that naturally shape the signature style my brand is known for today.

A thoughtful, handcrafted approach

Every item that leaves my studio is made by hand — shaped wire by wire, bead by bead, element by element. I source high-quality materials from around the world, selecting unique crystals, pearls, florals, and components that allow me to create pieces with depth, texture, and an artistic finish.

Because each design is crafted individually from start to finish, no two pieces are ever exactly alike. Each one carries its own character and individuality, reflecting the care and attention poured into its creation.

Although most designs follow a steady production flow, I understand that wedding timelines can shift and unexpected urgencies arise. When a bride is feeling stressed or has a last-minute need, I do my best to shuffle schedules where possible to help meet those timelines — without compromising the quality my work is known for.

Designed to feel personal

I love working with brides who want their accessories to reflect their style, colour palette, or dress details. Custom orders are always welcome — from subtle variations to entirely new designs. You’re invited to send inspiration images, colour swatches, or ideas you’d like me to explore. Every custom request begins with a conversation, and I enjoy turning your vision into something tangible and wearable.

A global studio based in Cape Town

From my Cape Town studio, I ship worldwide using reliable, express courier services. Brides discover my work from many different countries, and it’s a privilege to play a small part in their wedding day. Order volumes vary throughout the year, but each piece is made with the same level of care, and I prioritise clear communication, thoughtful timelines, and personal service.

A keepsake, not just an accessory

Wedding accessories are more than decorative details — they hold memories. They are photographed, kept, passed down, or tucked away as a reminder of the day. My aim is always to create pieces that feel like keepsakes rather than just accessories, made with intention and artistry.
