MARIJOLI
Marijoli is jewellery that plays with the tension between contrasts. These are beautiful wearable art pieces that embody a philosophy and lifestyle espousing simplicity yet richness, that borrow from history as much as modernity, and are delicate as much as they are avant-garde.
Having launched her collection in 2006 in Tokyo where she was based at the time, the young, dynamic, Swiss-born jeweller, Marielle Byworth, rapidly created a cult following for her unique easily identifiable signature Elema collection and its organic shapes.
Since then she had pushed the boundaries of jewellery design with her unorthodox combinations of precious and semi-precious stones and modern materials, which have made her pieces highly coveted staples for women internationally- from her home city of Hong Kong, to the red carpet of Cannes. Diamonds are combined with black vinyl, rubies are paired with wood, and coloured stones are layered atop leather to create a look of modern elegance. Fusing influences from her childhood in Switzerland, the urban environment of her former home in Tokyo and elements of Asian spiritual philosophy, each piece of Marijoli jewellery is a work of inspiration and imagination.
Trained at the Graphic Art School of Swiss Romande (ERAG) and the University of Art and Design of Lausanne, Switzerland (ECAL), Marielle has an eye for detail and technical perfection while always maintaining functionality and emphasizing the beauty of design.
Since relocating to HK from Tokyo, Marielle has redirected much focus to creating special bespoke pieces for men and women. All pieces are produced in either her atelier in Hong Kong or Switzerland. More information at www.marijoli.com
MISCHA
The MISCHA label originated as an expression of founder Michelle Lai’s aesthetic aspirations and love of vintage Japanese kimono and obi. In 2004, her penchant for the ancient embroidery arts inspired the designer to debut her work of handmade clutches, crafted from her personal collection of treasured fabrics. Embracing Asian aesthetics in a uniquely Western context, the pieces soon developed a cult following, and by 2008, they were coveted in cities around the world.
In 2010, the brand launched a line of luggage featuring its signature monogram, inspired by ancient Japanese geometric motifs. Embodying chic simplicity, the interlocking hexagon pattern has become the brand’s iconic mark. Designed with a globetrotter’s lifestyle in mind, the line of coated canvas and leather-trimmed totes and accessories have become a staple of the jet set and are found in multi-brand boutiques, luxury department stores and online retailers worldwide.
MISCHA was selected as one of eight brands to represent Hong Kong in a collective known as Fashion Guerilla, during Paris Fashion Week 2013. In the same year, MISCHA became one of the first brands to be part of a new retail model, Shop Elsewhere, pioneered by Ogilvy & Mather, winning a Bronze medal at the 60th Cannes Lion Festival.
