-bl^nk- jewellery

Bl^nk take pride in the unique craftsmanship that goes into creating our jewellery. You would find our BL^NK handwriting transposed in a full range of products such as earrings, bracelets and necklaces, with each piece being made with only a clamp and agile fingers. As usual we are loving mixing materials and components: vegan leather breading, fine metal chains, glass beads and hand-made tassels are some of our favourite picks! We also add semi-precious stones which we go and hand pick ourselves from all the way over in Jaipur, as its one of the best places in the world to find special gems. Each of our pieces, even the smallest, takes hours to make- but it’s all worth it once we see our pieces worn by our beautiful ladies in the streets of London, Paris and New York.

Using vegan leather at -bl^nk-

At bl^nk we are one of the growing numbers of brands that make a conscious decision to use vegan leather in replacement of real leather for our bags, accessories and outerwear trimmings, alongside trying to stick to only using natural or synthetic fibers (cotton/viscose) in our collections. 
As well as making our own decision to not use real leather, a lot of the workers in our factory are vegetarian and do not agree with using animal products, we respect their wishes and only use vegan leather and faux fur if needed for our designs. 
Each year more than 1 billion cows, sheep, pigs, goats and even dogs and cats in some parts of the world are slaughtered for their skin in vulgar conditions, so we are proud to provide consumers with a more humane option. 
This also give us unlimited choice of colour and texture for our collection. Overtime, the technology has very much evolved and vegan leather now has properties that overcome natural leather (such as being light, waterproof and aging very well) in addition to the guilt free feeling!
