Kitschen was created by Kitty in London. Melting food and jewellery together to create a unique brand that incorporates fun and fine.
After realising how much love and nostalgia food holds she dedicate a whole brand to food themed jewellery. It's amazing what shapes and textures come from food. She realised how the opportunities are totally endless when it comes to food and the way it can be as organic or fabricated as you want.
Kitty's mission at Kitschen is to make sure people can enjoy the fun side of life without having to compromise on style. It's important to her that the design is done by herself and the first models to be made by Kitty in her workshop. Keeping everything local and to a high quality is incredibly important, and she feels keeping a close eye on things first hand is the way forward.
Growing up Kitty was surrounded by food and when she was younger she even wanted to be a chef. As time went on she found jewellery and had made her first piece by the age of 16. After studying the art of making for a few years, working for a variety of jewellers and making her own bespoke pieces on the side. She decided it was time to create her own unique jewellery brand. Kitty's style has evolved so much over the years but one thing she has always focused on is having a playful aura to her pieces, and thats what she's stuck. by. You can still find her bespoke work at www.kittykonsta.com.
Kitty is very keen to keep her brand as personal as possible so please feel free to contact her with any queries you may have.
