MISS brooches on sale!


Brooches at Cut x Paste are now on sale for $17.50!! (30% down from its original retail price) Grab 'em while you can, as I'm making way for new stock which means, more new headbands, more new wristcuffs, and some other new accessories which will be a surprise.. watch out for it in the coming weeks.

I just want to say thank you for all those who have made the Harajuku-inspired headbands a success. They've generated quite a bit of interest, and I hope that they are getting you noticed and you feel that you are wearing something really special and unique, as that is what I feel when I wear mine 'round London, and what I had in mind when I am designing and making them.


Am getting ready for my trip back home to the Big Apple.. shopping in the Village, lunch at Cosi, and a bit of stockist research in Soho... I really can't wait! I'm going to be making a visit to my New Jersey stockist, Le Petit Garage, so expect new stock there in a few weeks as well!

Hi everyone! Stock Update: There are some new cuffs over at Koh Samui in Covent Garden. The new cuff selection have a Heavenly/starry theme to them, mostly embellished with holographic star sequins, silver angel wings, and silver plated chains. Please check the stockists page for more info on Koh Samui.

I just finished some private commission work for a client for her upcoming wedding. I used to make chokers back when the label first started, but over time had put it aside to concentrate on other products, but this commission saw me returning back to designing and making them again.

The main part of the choker was an embellished flower motif, which I constructed out of cream lace and jewelled it up "MISS"-style. The streamers are a mix of organza and satin ribbon, lace, and silver-plated chains.

With eyepins, I made a chain of beads to add a contrast to the plain choker band. To finish, the choker has a vintage rhinestone button and satin rouleaux loop closure at the back. I'm really pleased overall how it came out!

After a hefty March, I am now working on new stock for the new Montreal-based, "Headquarters Galerie & Boutique". You can read up a bit on what they do at: www.HQgalerieboutique.blogspot.com

Also, After a year away, I'm going back home to New York City end of this month for a few days! The last time I was in NY was for the Closet tradeshow which the label took part in. This time around, I'm hoping to get some NYC stockists, and expect some new items on my return from the non-stop sourcing and inspiration-gathering I will be doing!

OK! ...Now THAT'S an update! x
