• Little Liffner ventures into demi fine jewelry with a first collection filled with beyond basic everyday pieces

    Written by Ulrika Lindqvist

    Stockholm based handbag brand Little Liffner looks beyond leather goods to launch its first collection of demi fine jewelry made with the highest ethical and sustainable practices.
    The first drop will consist of a wide range of earrings, combining organic shapes with bold spheres, baroque pearls and cool natural stones as well as bangles and rings.

    Rather than walking down the expected path of making small leather goods or perhaps shoes the brand wanted to surprise their audience while learning and growing by working with new materials and methods. Although unexpected, jewelry felt like a natural step towards expanding Little Liffner’s world of elevated everyday accessories.

    To me as a founder, launching jewelry marks the start of something new for the brand. It is an exciting step in my pursuit of slowly but steadily building Little Liffner into a Scandinavian leather goods brand to be reckoned with says founder, Liffner von Sydow.

    From having a non-existent jewelry interest, during Covid, I found myself increasingly intrigued and allured by jewels and their simple power to lift the spirit and the type of casual fashion I love. Through friends in the industry, I was able to find a beautiful factory in Bangkok, a certified B corp with the highest standard of ethical and sustainable practices and started to develop our first pieces, says founder Paulina Liffner von Sydow.

    Following the aesthetic direction of the brand’s playful minimalist leather goods, the goal was to offer subtle statement items in a new category - little luxuries that feel genuinely original without shouting. As evident in the brand name, the little things matter.

    The collection will pre-launch at littleliffner.com in mid November.

  • The Decadent Warrior - Fredrik Robertsson x Edblad

    Written by Fashion Tales

    Fredrik Robertsson, the extravagant haute couture collector, teams up with Edblad's design studio to produce a limited and unique series of jewelry.

    The collaboration between Edbladand Fredrik is as uniqe as the collection a relationship that gose back a long way thanks to their common heart issue and work for the Rainbow Foundation, where Fredrik sits on the board and to which Edblad has annually donated money, arranged events with and released collections for the benefit of, via its Helping Hand initiative.

    The collection consists of a well-crafted headdress out of the ordinary and two sets with parts from this, rings and necklaces. A collaboration with a huge wow factor, just like Fredrik himself.

    Odalisque Magazine had a chat with the multitalented Mr Robertson to get a insight in the collaboration.

    Tell us about yourself and how your devotion for fashion began.

    Well, I am a haute couture collector and buyer who used to be in PR and now work with my fiancé as a creative director for haircare company Björn Axén and sit on the board of the non-profit organization Regnbågsfonden. I think my love of fashion really began when I grew up in Singapore, and we wore school uniform to school. One day a week we had free dress day – and that is when I loved to express myself. I would walk to the luxury department stores and check out Moschino and the other brands, and dream to one day be able to buy it all, haha.

    You're quite the trailblazer for personal expression through unique designs and couture pieces. How would you describe your aesthetic/style?

    I try not to describe my style at it changes daily. I love fashion and I love the power of fashion. How it can make you feel, make others see you, how it can open doors, and close them, haha. I dress for the occasion, I dress the way I feel. I love the process of creating a look.
    But I can just as easily wear black simple joggers from Rick Owen to a Jean Paul Gaultier haute couture dress with 3-meter train. Both feel just as natural to me.

    Tell us about the Fredrik Robertsson x Edblad-collection.

    I have always wanted to create jewelry, and have dabbled in it before. But to create something special with Edblad was an honor because it reaches a lot of people which I love.
    The revolution in Iran had just started, and working with Regnbågsfonden makes me inspired by the brave people who take to the streets and fight for our basic human rights. So, this collection is dedicated to them. A fierce headpiece for protection and self-expression. And chains I see as armour.

    What sparked the idea to life? Key inspirations?

    I love the mystique of covering my face with a head piece, mask or something fabulous to create extra drama. That was my first initial idea, and then it all came together with the inspiration from my rainbow warriors.

    What lies next on the horizon for Fredrik Robertsson?

    Oh, I have a huge exhibition this fall with all of my haute couture, photos taken by Ea Czyz who has been with me in Paris for 10 years. The exhibition is curated by Susanna Strömquist and designed by Robin Grann. Soon you will get more information….
