Artisan fashion and home objects.

Our main squeeze, model Meredith Adelaide is very familiar with the pieces at Craft & Culture. At one time or another she’s worn most of them. You may recognize her from our look book Sheer Society, many of the product shots on the site as well as the cover and main editorial of Ledger Magazine II photographed by Fiona Pepe. Not too shabby. Meredith is one of our favorite personalities and looks. The brainy Portland gal plays in a rad band, has appeared on Portlandia and, of course, gives good face. We caught up with Mer to find out her very favorite pieces on Craft & Culture.

Meredith's Picks (1)Clockwise from top left: Ursa Minor Eshe Blouse, Fathom & Form Diamond Cluster Necklace, Fathom & Form Arrowhead Earrings, Cute & Broke Black Dress with Sheer, Marmod8 Skull Ring, Jessie Harris Thick Band Crystal Ring, Helicopter’s The Player Dress, Fathom & Form Diamond Ring, Fathom & Form Coffin Ring.

Some or our good friends from Seattle are in New York with their amazing new collections in tow. We’re so proud to see what is coming out of our corner of the woods. Is it just us or is Seattle making big waves all over the place?

Iacoli & McAllister : The dream team that is Jamie Iacoli and Brian McAllister has done it again. From tables to jewelry and glass to copper, their new pieces are so clean and fresh. Can you spot the Ilana Kohn Joey Dress popping up (and sideways) in their rad look book?

Fail jewelry is made by Christine Fail in Austin, Texas where she also runs her own beautifully curated retail space called Schatzelein. Christine is a master metalsmith who creates each piece with an anvil and hammer. New pieces from her latest collection are also coming soon – think labradorite.

It can be worn both on the bottom of the ear and create a cuff-like casing around the ear’s outer edge OR up on the cartilage. Limited quantity. Only $70. Also – make sure you get your one of a kind two finger quartz ring before they’re gone!

Our good friend Kellie Riggs who is also one of the amazing jewelry artists on C&C introduced us recently to RICHARDS, an amazing new collection by her friend and colleague from RISD, Sarah Richards who has worked with the likes of Opening Ceremony & Proenza Schouler . We swoon to swim in that jungle of color.

We’ve been keeping a close eye on Bianco Artist Management here in Seattle as they represent many of our good friends and favorite talents. One such artist is French – Senegalese photographer Delphine Diallo whose images explore of fashion and tradition with mesmerizing tact. Incredible, no?DD2DD20DD21DD23DD24DD25DD27DD28DD32DD34DD43

 

Craft & Culture’s newest look book is here! Sheer Society features the sexy S/S collection by Ovate and is paired with amazing, sharp jewels from Elaine Ho, Marmod8 and Isobel & Ezra.

If there are two early adopters who significantly shaped Craft & Culture, it would be Seattle jewelry designers (and good friends) Elizabeth Patterson and Meghann Sommer. Elizabeth was the very first artist we talked to about C&C and her enthusiasm, support and ideas have encouraged and inspired us as we’ve grown. Elizabeth put us in touch with Meghann and we were on our way.

Over the past year, it has been an absolute pleasure to grow with these two women and push ourselves to be better at what we do. Both Elizabeth and Meghann just released new collections exclusively available on Craft & Culture. Take a look!
