Green with Envy

I wanted to do a post on colours since its been a while and of course, we're sort of known for our bright and eye catching palette.

Green is one of my favourite colours and the great thing about it is it works for every season, just change the tone from pastel for summer to forest or christmas green for autumn/winter.
It's also a colour that works well on all skin types but generally better on brunettes. The colour creates a beautiful backdrop for dark hair and brings out the colour of your eyes.

So I complied somethings that are eye catching, fun, flirty and feminine to suit your personal taste.

My favourite skirt has to be the Pencil skirt with detachable train, it's versatility is one reason why i find it appealing. Its form fitting shape makes it great for all sizes and its train is perfect if you're not 100% confident.
Close for 2nd place is our high waist Green Brocade Skirt, that can be worn with some high top kicks or classic ballet flats or heels. Kanch sourced a gorgeous fabric that is a silk brocade if you love subtle detail. Its also a great palette for you to build on with accessories, jewellery or some fun extravagant heels.

These are a pair of my favourite earrings from our gold collection adorned with gorgeous ombre green agate stones. One of our most extravagant pieces for a more out there personality. 

If you're a more of a classic gal, these are a perfect fit for you. Not extravagant but has the right amount of glamour and elegance. Remember stay true to your style! 

Love, Petra

HK Gem & Jewellery Fair

Last week Kanch and I went to the HK Gem and Jewellery Fair. We left at 3 after a bridal consultation with a new client-she was lovely! Then caught a taxi to the HK convention and exhibition center. I told to the taxi driver to go to The Renaissance Harbor view hotel because I didn't know how to say HKCEC in Chinese haha. I said to Kanch that I had only remembered it because of club Tribeca-back in the day and she goes “yeah it was called something else before that ”Club-ING!! I’m sure the Hong Kong bred will know what I mean!
We got out the taxi with our passes in our hands and headed in.
There were people everywhere from all over the world, buyers, manufacturers, from Ukraine, Italy, India and Spain to name a few.
It was super overwhelming but we had a game plan. Kanch wanted to check out the silver jewellery floor-5th so we took the 3 extra long escalators up. These exhibition halls are usually used for concerts so you can imagine how big the halls were.

There was booth after booth, jewellery of different colours, and stones. There were earrings, necklaces, clasps, lockets, photography equipment- I could go on!

This was my first time going to the Jewellery Fair and I really enjoyed it. I really takes a lot out of you, after 1 hall of asking questions, talking to the manufactures and being chased for mine and Kanch’s business card you get a little tired!!
1 hall took us a little over an hour to look through and after the silver jewellery hall, we decided to check out the fine jewellery.

Walking into the second hall was like walking into jewellery heaven. Kanch and I had seen some of the rarest stones and most outrageous pieces yet. The necklaces were oversized and full of diamonds and precious stones. Everything was a lot more extravagant in this hall with rare stones and beautifully cut diamonds.
We were so tired after the second hall, especially since we had done a whole lot of walking that week because we were in Guangzhou doing some sourcing and research. Walking around 5 different malls that are all 3x the size of IFC you do get a little delirious and tired haha.
We decided to call it a day and left the HKCEC. It was such a lovely day and Kanch and I learnt a lot and had a lot of fun. We’ll be back for the next fair and hopefully the Las Vegas one next year!!

Love Petra.

Rockin' my world

As of late, the Kanchan Couture crew has been working on developing and creating new jewellery.

We’ve researched, developed and then developed some more and are out with a new jewellery line, including charms, bracelets, necklaces and earrings that were previously launched on Groupon HK. Now moving on the Groupon China..watch out!

We’ve also been working on a few external projects besides the KC jewellery line and we’re all starting to become more interested and excited about jewellery. (Designing and buying of course!)

A couple of weeks ago, we were invited to the Tom Binns exhibition presented by Joyce & On Pedder, curated by Madhouse Contemporary. His Jewellery was absolutely breathtaking and super colourful and chunky-jewellery on acid if you will. One of my favorite’s was a dark room fill with his florescent pieces.

One of his creations included a large chunky necklace made out of Barbie shoes which Kanch and I adored.

I decided to ask the ladies of KC to pick they’re favourite jewellery at the moment- styles and opinions always change!

Fashion is supposed to be fun not boring! So Enjoy!

Let it rock your world!!
