CAROLINE SVEDBOM - A ROYAL FAVOURITE

October 2, 2024

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.

As well as exploring the trade show, meeting with brands and customers, and attending a showcase event hosted at the beautiful Dea Kudibal showroom, we also had time to get lots of style inspiration from the runway shows and amazing street style looks!

As our Director Caroline told Drapers: "It is very inspiring to be here. It is a melting pot of fashion – you get a full 360 of fashion [due to the trade show and catwalks taking place at the same time] and it is very inclusive that way.”

We can't wait to return to Copenhagen for the next edition of the show!

OUR TOP 5 AW21 DEA KUDIBAL ITEMS

October 11, 2021

The days are turning shorter and colder. We turn to our cosy knitted jumpers, and padded coats, to keep us nice and warm. Our wardrobes gradually become filled with darker tones and autumnal colours, ready for the new season.

Today, we explore our favourite top 5 pieces from Dea Kudibal, in order to give you some inspiration.

STACY - TRELLIS BLUE - 15-0721

Our first runner up is the Stacy in Trellis Blue. A blouse with volume sleeves and teardrop opening at the front. The pattern is elegant, and one of which will make you stand out from the crowd. Stacy is the perfect blouse for an evening outfit. We recommend styling it with a trouser suit for a formal classy look or leather trousers if you are feeling more daring. On the other hand, if you are looking for a more casual look, we recommend tucking this shirt into a pair of nice flared Jeans paired with some chunky sunglasses and white trainers.

VERA - LAVENDER - 63-0721

The weather becoming colder only means one thing…. Layers, layers and more layers! Layering is an art form. It gives you the freedom to be able to be creative and completely transform any outfit. Some items are harder to layer than others. However, vests, such as the Vera vest, not only will keep you warm, due to it having been knitted, but is perfect to layer over any type of blouse, dress or long sleeve top.

Working with layers means you have the opportunity to incorporate a variety of different colours and patterns which compliment one another.

CARDI - LAVENDER - 59-0721
For days, where the weather is slightly colder, we exchange our vests for the knit cardigan with balloon sleeves, for that extra warmth. Cardigans are a must in every wardrobe. The buttons on the cardigan, give you more freedom in regards to how you style your outfit. Can experiment with having all the buttons done up, to having just one done up or none at all.

VIOLA DRESS - TRELLIS BLUE - 34-0721

No matter the season, Maxi dresses will always be a must in our wardrobes. During the winter months, we may choose to layer these with long knee-high boots and jumpers. The Viola Long dress has an adjustable drawstring collar. The dress also has cutlines and a lot of ruffles.

NATE - NAVY BLUE 11-0721

To finalize our top 5 items from AW21, we have the Nate Navy blue shirt with high cuffs, standing collar and hidden placket. Nothing says sophistication more than a stretch silk satin shirt like this one.

INTRODUCING THE TEDDY - LUNE ACTIVE

August 16, 2021

Lune Active has just dropped a new collection on our doorstep, and I am positive that this is something you do not want to miss!

Cosy, comfortable and desirable, the Teddy collection is made from 100% organic cotton. The fabric itself is soft on the skin, with a light shine to it. Formed of four different pieces, the collection is perfect for various different looks, whether you are looking forward to spending some downtime at home, or an on the go look. The pieces are also combinable and come in three different colours: Pine Green, Purple Brown and Early Grey.

PINE GREEN
