Design & research studio merging embroidery, jewelry and textile design in an artisanal yet contemporary way
ANNELEEN BERTELS X LINDSEY FONTIJN
When a precious piece of clothing is damaged, why downgrade it with inferior mending, or worse, discard it, if it can also be embellished with sophisticated embroidered jewelry?
This innovative technique combines luxury, preciousness and sustainability, allowing us to turn our favourite garments into lifelong works of art.
The Jewelrized Textile Tag is part of a series of embroidered jewellery reparations for garments. The idea for this series emerged from a collaboration between textile designer Anneleen Bertels and jewelry designer and goldsmith Lindsey Fontijn. They connected through their shared mission to intertwine craftsmanship and innovation, create out of intuition and let material transform itself over time.
