See You In Spain

Monday, 8 August 2011

We are having a busy summer, there is so much going on! But one of the things that has kept us really busy is our new retailer in Spain. Check out the picture to see the goods that are on the way to them. THAT is a lot when you have to make it by yourself. Every single piece is hand made!

The goods are going into 2 hair dressing salons in Barcelona "Le Salon". 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!

Welcome In The Workshop Josh
Tuesday, 2 August 2011

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...

Double Wrap Bracelets
Tuesday, 15 February 2011

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...

Special Commissions
Wednesday, 24 November 2010

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...

Peter Andre -Accelerate
Sunday, 31 October 2010

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...
