CURA Jewellery & Le Laboratoire go way way back. It was the first store to welcome CURA to its assortment of local and sustainable brands, and to this day, is where CURA sells best. It's a match made in heaven.
Le Laboratoire is a Lausanne based creative fashion design workshop & designer shop offering Swiss ethical products. It's a treasure-trove of unique & beautiful things from innovative local brands, presented by an amazing team who are ethically & sustainably minded, as well as creators themselves. CURA thrives here, not just because it's the right product for the right customer, but because the team at Le Laboratoire present my product like it was their own. They believe in CURA as much as I do.
Following the birth of my daughter, CURA & I took a little break. When I was ready to come back, Maryll at Le Laboratoire proposed we work together on a collection for the store. She knows CURA, and she knows her customers, and she (like the rest of the team) oozes creativity & style. This was an opportunity to combine our skills and create something completely unique, and exclusive for this special store. One of a kind jewellery, for a one of a kind store.
We shared ideas on sillhouettes & designs, and I shared colour combinations & patterns. We decided on some designs and I got to work crafting the pieces. One sub collection I created by melting the plastic bubble bags that come with every galaxus order. SO. MUCH. PLASTIC. Iykyk. The translucent plastic and blue print created an utterly divine marbling, and thus the 'Galaxus' collection was created.
