If you've ever visited Mexico you know about the friendship bracelet obsession down here. Mexican teens wear the brightly knotted bracelets from wrist to elbow and tourists flock to the stalls that sell 100's of different styles and colours of this basic accessory. Meet Kate Miss. Kate has her own jewelry line - 'For Me, For You' - which is inspired by the friendship bracelets of her youth but are updated with gorgeous chain and mature colour palettes. I thought I had seen every iteration of the friendship bracelet in my time down here but Kate has proven me (happily) wrong.
The weirdest thing is that when I first got to Mexico I drew up some necklaces that looked remarkably like the ones that Kate Miss designs - only with leather instead of friendship bracelet. Because sourcing things here takes forever I'm only just tracking down all the bits and pieces needed for my designs. It's interesting how ideas seem to pop into consciousness simultaneously...
