Peter Andre went to Ibiza for a gig at Eden and along with him came his latest 109 necklace and a bit of our stuff on his wrist. And it is unfortunate that we can't add a link for you to our web shop so you can see the necklace up and close, but he is way ahead of us and the piece he is flashing is only the second one we made. And the fist one is already sold... We love this piece though and we WILL make some more and take some nice pictures of it and show it to you in the web shop. BUT you can only buy it in POISON ANGEL as it is an exclusive for them because they have have wrapped me around their little finger with flatter and charm.... they do it over and over again..... I think I might be addicted to them (go and see them for yourself and you will know what I am talking about)
Le Salon picks a new accessories brand every season that they introduce in their salons. And now they have picked 109 to be their Autumn-Winter 2011-12 collection. We are very excited and we wish then all the best with the 109 goodies! Read more...
109 is a very small company (hey, check me out beading by myself watching MTV and drinking tea) and every thing 109 does is personal. Everything!
So I personally had a very cool day when word came to me that Josh T. Pearson liked a specific piece from the collection and I sent it off to him as fast as I could. Read more...
The Brand New Heavies at Ronnie Scott's was just one of those things that couldn't be missed. And we had a hot sweaty night with a room full of party animals (us included). It was a beautiful combination of the company of good friends, a really nice meal, a legendary venue and one of the coolest bands on the planet covered in 109 bling.
At 109 HQ we have completely fallen in-love with our new double wrap bracelets! The first prototypes feels so smooth and soft even though they are made of tough string and hard stones.
We will keep experimenting with the beads and want to try some rough looking turquoise and also look for some large chunks of sterling silver.
We do think though that we have found the perfect string; greasy waxed cotton string! It is both soft and strong. Read more...
Sometimes we get hold of some amazing pendants or special stones that would impossible to source enough of to actually include them in our collection. But we then make as many pieces as we can and sell them as special commissions. These 2 pieces will be available in Poison Angel very soon, and if you like what you see then you better be quick to snap them up! Read more...
We were abselutly delighted when we spotted this perfect shot of Peter Andre wearing 4 of our pieces on the cover of his new album 'Accelerate'. We 100% love the beads he has chosen to mix around his wrist. It is refreshing to see soft creme colours mixed with the wooden colours. And we love that he uses necklaces as bracelets too!
And can you believe that we have our beads on a cd-cover!!? Here is something super special for our 'wall of fame' in the office! Read more...
