Kalas in Göteborgs Posten

Since I have been away for the holidays I haven't been reading the newspaper Göteborgs Posten in a couple of days, but today someone sent me this where Kalas is being mentioned in a small piece about upcoming design brands from Gothenburg:

(in Swedish)

I'm really happy to have been mentioned and it's one of the best surprises to be getting and end the year with.

Hoppy Holidays

Me (and my bunnies) are taking a well earned holiday break, you can still order in the shop but i wont be able to ship until january 1st. Hope you're having a nice relaxing couple of days in front of you.

Hugs & Hoppy Holidays!

Reminder

Hello, here comes a friendly reminder that the Holiday discount is activated until december 31st and there's still some goodies left in the shop + I've also added something new, so check it out! Unfortunately it is too late to get your order shipped in time for Christmas, however, a late X-mas gift is better then none.

A big thanks to all my customers

I'm so happy you like what I do and that you become happy from wearing my creations. It was so nice meeting some of you during this weekends Christmas market (some of you even defied the wicked Gothenburg winter weather).

Stor kram!

HDK market, news & a reminder

I almost sold out the necklaces at the market yesterday, so I had to make some new ones out of beads I had allready made before the market (just in case). I then came up with some new color schemes, like the one below, that I'm very pleased with so I'll probably make some for the shop. Keep a look out! :)

Also a small reminder that if you wish to get your ordered Kalas deliciousness before Christmas you need to place your orders before wednesday 11/12 (go to the shop by clicking the 'SHOP' button on the right). The holiday discount is available until december 31st.

Kram!

Markets & X-mas specials

It's soon the season for Christmas markets, and yours truly will attend some of them (in Gothenburg, Sweden) as a seller (will give you more detailed information soon). At the markets I'll of course sell pieces from the whole Kalas series, such as earrings, rings, headbands, necklaces and bracelets, but also cat magnets and ornaments for example.
I know some of you can't make it to Sweden, but don't worry I'll have a Christmas special in the shop just for you. I'll announce it here on the blog in a few days, so keep your eyes open.

Unisex

This is how the first prototype turned out. It was well recieved on Instagram and I hope that it'll be equally well recieved in the shop. 

Finishing some orders

It's so fun to see that my works are making their way around the world. This one is headed to Los Angeles, US (via Greece)! 

If you wish to order this particular color combination it is listed in the shop under 'Halsband Rubin'. Special requests in color combinations please email me on: elinliakarlsson@gmail.com

Lila necklace now available in the shop

Request

I got a question the other day "Don't you have anything for men?". I consider all of my products to be unisex (mostly the headbands) but for those of you who still would like something more "manly" the answer is YES I do. I'm acctually workning on necklaces/accessory line for men right now. I've only developed a prototype so far, but please bare with me, there will be something for everyone very soon.

Hand knitted headbands

100 % hand knitted (by yours truly) warm and beautiful headbands for a complete autumn/winter look.Made from non-itchy acrylic yarn. They come in more colors then these four. And they will all soon be available in the shop.

New products in the making

I can with pleasure announce that there will be some new additions in the shop really soon. There are also some other fun news coming up, I'm sorry to be so secretive, but I can't tell you about it just yet...

Meanwhile I can tell you something else equally funny, yesterday I visited the Gothenburg International Biennale for Contemporary Art (GIBCA), and as I was watching one of the featured videos I saw one of my necklaces being worn by one of the dancers in that video! I was amazed and ofcourse happy. I've seen some of my works around town a few times before, once at a music festival, once riding the bus and another time a friend texted me a photo of one of her customers wearing one. It makes me smile and feel proud every time! So thank you to all of you for having such a good taste.

(I tried taking a photo - sorry about the bad quality - it was a video, in a dark room shot with my phone)
