CAROLINE SVEDBOM - A ROYAL FAVOURITE

They say diamonds are a girl's best friend - but have you heard that Caroline Svedbom is a Royal’s best friend?

It comes at no surprise that Caroline Svedbom’s exquisite designs are loved by the Swedish Royal family. Handmade in Greece by expert craftsmen with Swarovski elements, these luxurious designs are not only visually exquisite but are ensured to be of the highest quality. 

“Precise attention is given to the artisanal handmade technique until perfection.” - Caroline Svedbom

Most recently, Caroline Svedbom jewellery was showcased at the Norwegian royal wedding, where it was worn by the bride, Princess Martha Louise herself, and her wedding party.

The Princess officially tied the knot with Californian shaman, Durek Ferret, at the Hotel Union in Geiranger on the 31st August 2024. The wedding was a three day extravaganza that was filled with gorgeous designs from Norwegian fashion designer, Tina Steffenakk Hermansen.

The stunning Swarovski crystals added a touch of elegant sparkle to compliment the royal looks and enhanced the glamour of the joyous occasion.

WHAT TO WEAR: WIMBLEDON EDITION

What to wear to Wimbledon - The Oldstrom style guide.

Chic, stylish, smart, effortlessly cool- this is the vibe we would want to give off if we were fortunate enough to be court-side next week.

If you have managed to snag yourself a ticket and you want to be the best-dressed spectator this Wimbledon season, then you will definitely want to take a look at the Oldstrom style guide below.

Explore the brands: Dea Kudibal, GLAS Eyewear, Edblad, Campomaggi, Kennel & Schmenger

Although there is no specific dress code for women at Wimbledon, smart dress is encouraged meaning a suit would be a go-to choice. We would also recommend sticking to a light and airy colour palette.

This Dea Kudibal combination: Zinsa jacket, Carita trousers and Cristana shirt is smart, clean and crisp with a subtle and cool twist.

Explore the brands: Bitte Kai Rand, GLAS Eyewear, Edblad, Campomaggi, Kennel & Schmenger

Hopefully, we will continue to be blessed with gorgeous sunny weather for the event, in which case you will need to plan your outfit accordingly.

A linen jumpsuit, dress or set will be light and comfortable for a day outside in the heat, while a big pair of sunglasses can double up as a sun protector and as a style statement.

Explore the brands: Sand Copenhagen, GLAS Eyewear, Caroline Svedbom, Campomaggi, Kennel & Schmenger

A blazer is always recommended for any event in the UK, just in case the temperature drops… and no one does classic blazers better than Sand Copenhagen!

Complete your look with fun, summery accessories like the Ocean Pearl Earrings from the Caroline Svedbom Resort collection, along with a big stack of matching bracelets of course.

EVERYTHING WE HAVE BEEN UP TO IN MAY

In-store events, exciting new collections, a showcase in Milan and a road trip to Scotland. Take a look at everything we have been up to in May over on our socials and in the highlights below.

AN EXCLUSIVE SHOPPING EVENT

Caroline and Beanie were thrilled to be a part of the exclusive shopping event at the lovely Moda Rosa Boutique, back at the beginning of May.

It was such a wonderful event showcasing Oldstrom brands including Dea Kudibal, Valérie Khalfon and Caroline Svedbom.

WINTER 24 AND PRE-SPRING 25 COLLECTIONS

This month we have been introducing our customers to beautiful new collections from both Dea Kudibal and Mei MeiJ. Both collections include transitional pieces that will help to refresh rails between the Christmas and early New Year period.

A TRIP TO MILAN

Caroline and Julie got to preview the Mei MeiJ Pre-spring 25 collection during a flying, 24-hour trip to Milan. They also managed to fit in a little sight-seeing and of course, stopped long enough to sit and enjoy some pizza and Aperol Spritz.

A SCOTTISH ROAD TRIP

Lois and Julia spent a week up in Scotland, visiting our lovely stockists and lots of new stores. It was a very productive trip and the girls thoroughly enjoyed their time up in such a beautiful part of the UK.

A 20TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION!

The team at Gunnel’s Fashion Marbella had their 20th Anniversary this May. They celebrated the milestone in the best way possible, with a big party including a presentation from Caroline Svedbom and a fabulous, multi-brand fashion show.

Caroline was excited to attend the event in Marbella and saw so many of our brands highlighted throughout the day!

WHAT TO WEAR TO CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW

The Summer social calendar will soon be kicking off with the iconic RHS Chelsea Flower Show- an annual event held at the historic Royal Hospital Chelsea, running from the 21st to the 25th of May.

If you managed to grab some tickets this year, then you might be in need of a little outfit inspiration. Here are a few of our recommendations for event-appropriate looks.

We know, as Miranda would say “Florals for Chelsea Flower Show… groundbreaking” but in this case it really is a perfect match!

A summery, day dress is a great, easy option to nail the smart/casual dress code. Pair with a comfy trainer to get you through the day and some statement jewellery, like these Caroline Svedbom Petite Rope and Anemone styles, to add an extra touch of glamour to the look.

Chelsea Flower Show is the perfect excuse to pull out the linen pieces from summer wardrobe storage.

This set from Sand Copenhagen would be light and comfortable for a day in the sun, but still gives a crisp and sophisticated look, especially when layered with an Italian-tailored, double-breasted cream blazer.

This gorgeous set from the Sand Copenhagen SS24 collection ticks many of the dress code boxes:

Neutral / pastel colours representative of Springtime

Cheerful, floral print

Soft, comfortable material and fit

Dress the look up or down with wedges, sandals or a pair of trainers and finish off with a bag of your choice.

The Caritadea trousers from Dea Kudibal could be the perfect choice if you prefer a more tailored look.

Here the trousers have been styled with the Cassisa Blouse in Datura Cobalt, but the clean and sophisticated cream colour of the trousers will make them easy to style with whatever blouse you choose.

On a really hot day, a straw fedora and a pair of sunglasses would be the perfect accessories to help protect your face from the sun. Here we have also styled the Tusnelda dress from Dea Kudibal with a Verecruz, woven bag from Campomaggi and ‘Holly’ sandals from Kennel & Schmenger for a complete, summer-ready look.

BEYOND THE BLUE

The sun is finally out, summer is just around the corner and we have the perfect jewellery collection to complement your warmer weather outfits - The Resort 2024 collection from Caroline Svedbom.

Anemone Grande Necklace / Crystal, Anemone Ring / Golden Shadow

Dive into the depths of this year’s Resort Collection “Beyond the Blue”, a beautiful collection that celebrates the Mediterranean beauty of the Greek Islands.

Greek Eye Statement Earrings / Crystal + Aquamarine

Evita Super Petite Bracelet /Aquamarine & Crystal, Siri Bangle / Aquamarine

A luxurious collection with a bohemian feel, Beyond the Blue Includes a mixture of easy-to-style pieces as well as statement designs inspired by vintage jewellery trends and photoshoots in Vogue. The collection also includes a new signature colour called "Sky Ignite".

THE AW24 - END OF SEASON ROUND-UP

The start of 2024 was a super busy period for the Oldstrom team - Another successful selling season of showroom appointments, trade shows, brand visits and road trips. But now we have had a moment to rest and reflect on everything we have achieved, we wanted to highlight some of the most exciting events of the last few months.

Take a look at what we have been up to recently over on our socials and in the highlights below.

LAUNCHING GLAS EYEWEAR AT TOP DRAWER

Back in January, we attended our first trade show of the year, launching a very exciting new brand as part of the Oldstrom portfolio - the premium eyewear brand GLAS Eyewear. We also took our popular Swedish jewellery brand Caroline Svedbom to the show and showcased their beautiful Spring and Summer collections. This was a great way for us to jump into the new selling season with momentum and introduce the new GLAS brand to UK customers.

MEETING BITTE AND MICHAEL KAI RAND

At the beginning of the year, Julie and Freya travelled to Copenhagen for the AW24 kick-off meeting with Bitte Kai Rand. On this trip, they got the chance to meet the founders- Bitte and Michael, (Who we have to say are the loveliest people ever) as well as preview the new collection at the brand’s head office. A very fun and insightful trip overall and they can’t wait to visit again for the SS25 kick-off.

SCOOP TRADESHOW - AW24 EDITION

In February, we were back at Scoop, showing off all of the amazing new collections from our brands: Caroline Svedbom, BRGN, Bitte Kai Rand and Sand Copenhagen. We also took this opportunity to launch Edblad Jewellery to our customers and new potential buyers. The Swedish jewellery brand was a massive hit, with everyone loving the chunky, trendy, statement style of jewellery that Edblad is known for. (We love being able to offer customers new, unique and exciting product offerings!)

ROAD-TRIPPING AROUND IRELAND

At the beginning of April, Julia and Freya took Oldstrom on the road, visiting 36 stores in various towns all around Ireland. From Dublin to Kilkenny to Cork to Galway, the girls visited key existing stockists like Ellen B, Venezuela, Gallery 9 and Macbees, as well as introduced themselves to new, potential buyers and stores.

Key takeaways from the trip and all of the lovely chats they had along the way include a very positive reaction to the first season of Mei MeiJ, with stores experiencing great feedback on the brand and great initial sell-through. Another super positive product category for Ireland was accessories, with stores selling current brands very well and looking to introduce new names like Edblad and GLAS Eyewear to the mix.
