Designer Spotlight: Jenny Bird

I love discovering new designers, especially jewelry lines.  At the last Project show back in August, I met Jenny the talented desginer behind the line Jenny Bird.  She was very sweet and humble and super easy to talk to.  I see a lot of jewelry lines when I go to the shows and a lot of it starts to look the same.  Hers made me stop and look because it was unique and had lots of bright fun colors and textures. 


Jenny Bird grew up in a tiny, rural, artistic community in Ontario, Canada and was born into a family of farmers and seamstresses. From a young age Bird was active in art programs, and crafted wares she would sell to her family out of their living room.
Jenny says "her line was born out of many inspired moments of observation and a calling too poignant to ignore. It was so hard to find beautiful accessories that were fashion forward yet well-made, luxurious yet priced affordably. Few things on the market were distinctly beautiful with a meaningful story; everything felt vacant of soul. I didn’t want obnoxious brands or empty fast fashion. I wanted indie-luxe and cool. I couldn’t help myself but to create". 
As Creative Director of what has become one of the world’s top emerging designer accessory lines, Bird splits her time between her home in Toronto and her creative hub, New York. Now carried at over 100 fashion-forward boutiques and retailers, the line is a notable Canadian success story and is enjoying steady growth worldwide.
We are thrilled to be one of the first boutiques in Orange County to be carrying her line!  



The Gypset Cuff is made up of wooden beads and 18k gold plated box chain and our available in brown, blue, black, and yellow.  This in black is going to be my go to staple for everyday wear!  $85


The Tibetove bracelets look great worn alone of or stacked with a few others.  The 18k gold plated chain tassels on these bracelets make them very elegant.  What I love about her designs is that they are simple yet elegant and have bohemian flair.  $44
