See how independent designers are carrying on during the coronavirus.
Independent designers are often the industry’s vanguard, finding new, sometimes scrappy, ways to bring their ideas to market. But as the coronavirus expands globally, it is these same smaller brands that are the most vulnerable while navigating the fallout from the pandemic.
In the days and months ahead, retailers and designers will work together to create and share content that feels thoughtful and relevant. We are mindful that jewelry and luxury goods might seem frivolous in these uncertain times, but people do want to be distracted by beauty. Not only does jewelry uplift our spirits, it marks occasions and gift-giving is now more important than ever.
We are all in this together. It’s vital to keep the community alive as we navigate through this period of uncertainty.I find myself in a very fortunate position during the crisis as I already work from home and am well set up to continue to do so and practice social isolation. Furthermore, as I make all of my orders custom, I am thankfully not sitting on stock that is unable to be sold or shipped at this time.
As for the future, I’m designing a new collection as we speak and as always I look to the future with optimism. To reopening my store with a party, to seeing new designs come to life, to seeing all my peeps in real life and hopefully to big warm hugs.This has been a powerful time of inner journeying. All of my actions are geared toward protecting my health and that of others, and creating balance.
We are quarantining in Brooklyn with our families. Both of us have babies now, so we are trying to manage working from home and also making the most of the extra time we have with our little ones! It’s not easy by any means, but we both have a very strong awareness of how privileged we are to have our health and freedom, and we aren’t taking any moment for granted.
