Slow jewellery brands to have on your radar

And: Obby, the Céline "marinière", and a sustainable restaurant I love in London

Hello and happy Friday,

I hope you’re doing well this week.

This is the first reader-sponsored newsletter I’m sending since I started in May 2020, and it feels great. Thank you for your support, I’m really glad you’re here and interested to find out more about the mysterious-fabulous-fun world of slow fashion.

This Friday, I would like to focus on slow jewellery as this is a timely topic with Valentine’s Day far approaching. I’ve been guilty of buying cheap and poorly made jewellery from fast fashion like most people. However, I discovered a number of really good alternative brands in recent years and wanted to share them with you.

In fact, last weekend I met one of them without even realising. I was at a dinner party sitting next to a woman whose earrings I kept starring at - as one slow fashion-obsessed person would do. We started talking and quickly came to the conclusion that we both followed each other on Instagram.
