Margherita is a line of leather accessories and jewelry by Lebanese Designer Ghita Abi Hanna. Margherita strives to create unique, bold designs, for the most part carefully hand-crafted by Lebanese artisans. Margherita’s designs incorporate architectural lines through different material, offering hand made, timeless items. The company’s fashion forward approach targets a trend-setting customer, courageous enough to stand out and wear bold statement pieces.

The featured collection was created in collaboration with Vea, a fashionably responsible brand that creates wearable accessories made from upcycled inner tire tubes. Each piece is handmade from sterling silver or gold plated brass and used bicycle tire rubber that come together nicely to create a statement piece of jewelry. The forms are kept simple and geometrical, allowing the black rubber to create volume and stark contrast with the brushed silver or gold.

Jewelry designer Hollie Paxton created a collection of jewelry that presents worthless pieces of trash as parts of expensive precious materials.

In the Rubbish Jewellery collection, Paxton gives a commentary on the excessive and wasteful culture in Western society. The designer recreates waste items like gum wrappers using processes such as enamelling to see how it would change people’s relationship with such objects once they are transformed into something ‘precious.’
