Live-blogging from Röda Sten Christmas market

During the market I'll have some "reduced-special-market-prices" on some of the items. Hopefully you'll find a nice gift for a loved one or a treat for yourself. See you in the crowd!

This weekend I'm in the process of mass producing products in tons of amazing colours for the upcoming Christmas markets. What have you been up to? 

Soon in Korea

My ring Citron was featured in a brochur handed out at the 35th Seoul International Women's Associations Bazar (SIWA). The brochur was made by the Swedish company Scandinique as a pre-launch sneak peak of their webshop were you'll soon be able to buy my accessories. All products are made in Sweden/Scandinavia.

I hope Kalas will be well received in Korea.

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

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)
