Jewellery Stylin'

Last Friday, I attended the Viss Fashion Friday @ Mella in Central and the one thing that was apparent was the obscene amount of chunky jewellery that night!

As of late a lot of brands are coming out with chunky gemstone pieces that are very regal looking. I remember when I saw a Dolce and Gabbana runway show a while back with some gorgeous chunky, floral, gem covered earrings, headbands and necklaces to match. Needless to say I fell in love with the look. The entire styling that D&G did was so classy, elegant, feminine but powerful and endearing.

I think the recent collections D&G have done in regards to jewellery have been very whimsical and housewife-esque but with a holiday feel. Rarely do you see such accessories in a work environment  which calls for a more subtle less distracting look, however if you're on holiday or you're out and about don't be scared to bling it up! The bigger the better and the brighter the better is the trend for jewellery this year! Try different shapes, sizes, embellishments and colours that you don't usually go for or if you're on the subtle side, go for a more classic gemstone bling look.





Email me at Petra@Kanchancouture.com for prices or information! 

These are just a few of my favourite chunky pieces designed by Kanch from various collections.
Kanch loves colour so it wouldn't be a Kanchan Couture collection without some fun colours and beautiful natural stones all sourced by Kanch herself.
We like using masha jade beads because of their vibrant colours and how long lasting they are. Paired with natural stones such as lemon quarts and amethyst, which also have healing powers if you're into that sort of quality.
We have different sizes of stones to match each personality, whether you're into a larger heavier necklace which is a standout/conversation piece or a more subtle one with smaller stones and beads if you don't want to go over the top or cause a distraction at your meeting or at work!

We want to wish you all a Happy Chinese New Year and we hope you have a wonderful holiday!
Usually before the new year, traditions such as a fresh hair cut and clothes represent a fresh start and a great way to ring in the new year, so chop and shop till you drop!!


Have some fun this season!
Love, Petra & Kanch

Beach babes

Because the weather has been so hot lately i'm planning a trip to the beach with my lovely friends to the beach for some sun, sand and hopefully surf too.

Kanch has been to a Wedding on Saturday that took place on a yacht and she got the most fabulous tan, needless to say i was a little jealous.

I decided to go on Net a Porter to check out what the designers are doing for swimwear. I was quite intrigued because, well swimwear is swimwear, there are rarely trends for swimwear, and come on, there’s so little fabric to work with what can you do? Well I went undercover on Net a Porter and had a look around. I found some really great pieces, bikinis, reversible bikini tops, wraps, sarongs, dresses, tunics, jumpsuits and maxi dresses.

I noticed there wasn’t really a trend for swimsuits this season, I remember when the one piece blew up and everyone wanted one with the funky holes on the side and the zigzag shaped style. I wasn’t really into them because of the really strange tan lines you would get, those kind of swimsuits were more for show, ya know?

Here are some of my faves!



These coverups are stunning!! I love the draping of the black dress and how the sides are cut out.
The second is just bohemian goddess.

I love this swimsuit, and it looks amazing as a top too.- Styled perfectly

Kanch would go crazy for these! Gorgeous colours!

I'm loving colour of the of the first suit, and the funky aztec print of the second and the vintage 50s silhouette of the third

It's ALL about the Accessories

We’ve been in the drawing room working on next season’s accessories. When creating accessories, designers have to think of everything. Working here with Kanch, I get a bit more insight into what she takes into consideration.

Monday morning this week was sunny, bright, beautiful. First thing on the agenda for our fashion forward designer was a trip to Hong Kong’s hub for material and textile sourcing…Lai Chi Kok & Sham Shui Po...

For those of you who are not from Hong Kong reading this, Sham Shui Po and Lai Chi Kok are dense districts filled with wholesalers selling fabrics, buttons, leathers, upholstery, feathers, anything from shell pieces to precious stones and silks can be found here. Kanch spent about two hours in this ocean of countless creative opportunities and came back with some gorgeous colored, textured and patterned leathers.

This time we want some feedback from you! We have narrowed our choices down to different sets of leathers and colors that we like. 

Tell us which one you like and email us: info@kanchancouture.com
