As we watch the rise and rise of the resin jewellery trend we declare: WE LOVE POLKA LUKA!


Designer Alex Freeman

Founded by jewellery designer Alex Freeman, the Polka  Luka brand proves that on trend fashionable accessories can be affordable, sustainable and eye catching. Her constantly evolving range features eye popping colour and chunky geometrical designs shaped using a multitude of resin finishes. 

 

I have a huge range of this jewellery – it’s just sooo easy to wear. My favourite being a chunky opaque white resin ring, but I know that on those ‘can’t find an outfit in the sea of clothes’ days, I can throw on some jeans and a top, accessorise it with two or three key pieces from the range and BANG! An outfit has appeared. xx

The girls behind jewellery and accessories label, Polli are not only super talented but incredibly gorgeous to deal with.  Foundation designers for the store, Tess Lloyd and Maya Rose's creations are whimsical, laser cut designs and have long been a favourite with WR customers. They initially met whilst studying Industrial Design in 1999 and forged a strong friendship on their love quirky design and product sustainability. Beginning with a compact range of stainless steel earrings and necklaces, the range has grown to include brass and stainless steel, injection pieces featuring colourful weaves and leather, acrylic jewelery stands and dainty colourful wooden brooches. It’s rare in this game to deal with such down to earth and delightful people but Tess and Maya are always ready for a chat and a giggle when you call the studio and can never do enough to help their retailers - an absolutely pleasure they are! We can't wait to see their Summer 2011 release in a few weeks at Life in Style!
