Hola | Hello | Howdy
Meet Shapes.
Handmade pieces, for elegant nomads.
We’re a small brand, but big on bespoke.
We employ traditional practices in our jewellery production, to produce elegant, playful pieces with our own bare hands. We don’t do “mass production", but we do inject generous amounts of love and care into each piece that’s born into our bustling Walthamstow studio.
Shapes was born out of joyful rebellion, and the creative desire to avoid same-same fashion that gets thrown away after a few wears.
Identical clothes, identical expressions… bloggers, influencers, they all alert us to the next big trend. Problem is, we all end up looking cloned. They wear it, we trust them.
But what ever happened to reclaiming our own playful personality and aesthetic expression?
Shapes is a response to:
- Rocking up at work and spying your colleague’s identical boy blazer.
- Arriving at the wedding reception and three women have the exact same cuff as you.
- Going to a cocktail party with two back up dresses just in case another babe is flaunting your look.
So. Over. That.
Shapes pieces are lovingly handmade using clay and porcelain, and one hundred per cent crafted with our own two hands. Fully responsible product for life!
Even if we tried, we couldn’t make them the same. Glaze does its own thing in the kiln so nothing comes out looking the same. We then mix it up with gems that are handpicked to guide you towards a colour and aesthetic detail that best suits your outfit, mood or personal expression – in that moment.
Shapes. Bespoke designs, as unique as you are.
Why I need your help:
My next step is opening an online shop but for that, I need a TOP NOTCH photographer and model which I can pay for their work.
I would also like to get help in the long run. A brand strategist and a CEO to help me with a business plan to open my first shop hopefully in London and in Barcelona eventually!
