Tatty Devine

I recently had the opertunity to intern in the Press Office at international, hand crafted jewellery brand Tatty Devine. Working with the likes of Vogue in France, Turkey and Spain and also, Grazia, Elle & RWD.
In the peroid I worked with Tatty, we exhibited at London Clothes Show, held a private exhibition in collaboration with Supermarket Sarah & also held craft based events at Craftacular with BUST! magazineVintage at Goodwood Festival and The Big Chill Festival.

Tatty Devine is Harriet Vine and Rosie Wolfenden. The two designers set up the company ten years ago, and still run it completely independently. A witty, offbeat brand, Tatty Devine has become a cult classic of British fashion.

Harriet and Rosie still design every piece, and 99% of the jewellery is made by hand in Tatty Devine's own workshops (one in London and one in Kent). 
Harriet and Rosie met on Chelsea School Of Art's Fine Art degree course. They found some bags of leather samples on the street one night, and after graduating used the leather to create wrist cuffs which soon sold out every week at Portobello and Spitalfields markets. Harvey Nichols and Browns began to stock Tatty Devine, andVogue shot their first collection on Erin O'Connor and John Galliano for the Millennium issue.
Acrylic silhouette shapes are Tatty Devine's signature style, but you'll also find pieces created in textiles, wood, leather, veneer and enamel. They are continually developing new techniques to produce unique and exciting designs.

The company has a history of collaborating with others, including artists, bands and the fashion world. They were one of the first designers to produce a high street collection back in 2003, for New Look, at the same time as working with avant-garde girl group Chicks on Speed. Ashish, Peter Jensen and Basso & Brooke have all turned to Tatty Devine for statement catwalk pieces, and pieces have been created especially for Rob Ryan, Tate, Selfridges and Gilbert & George.
Rankin shot a dress covered in Tatty Devine brooches to celebrate 25 years of London Fashion Week, and Dazed & Confused magazine list Tatty Devine as one of the top 50 coolest brands in the world.
