My first introduction to Custom Made was earlier this year, whilst desperately casually browsing for my sister’s birthday present in July. I did find something, but I refuse to admit whether I have sent it or not, on the grounds that it may *ahem* incriminate me.
Custom Made is a range of accessories created by the designer Anna Butler, inspired by (my favourite thing ever) "bright assed colours, pretty prints from far off places, quirky charms” and much more. I think it’s just lovely.
Look at this! A tiny postcard necklace! I think it’s lovely, especially as I’m travelling a lot right now. I’ve said how I feel about souvenirs before, but I think I can definitely make an exception here. It’s also a silver plated charm on a real silver chain, so you’re not going to get a bizarre green line around your neck that takes you a week to figure out how you got it. It’s £18.50.
And this rather lovely shoulder bag, £23.50, is just the perfect size for some quality window-shopping. It would fit your purse, phone, keys, and a wee book to read on the train. The strap’s also long enough to cross over your body, which I think is handy, to say the
very least.
Or these Little Lady brooches, which are little pins of extreme delight. They’re £7.50 each, and I’d definitely get the red one, to maximise Red Riding Hood slash Babushka doll symbolism. Aren’t they the sweetest little things! Je les aime.
