Wow! We couldn’t be happier!

Exciting doors are opening in our design process. Katy and I have received the first shipment of pieces that we designed together. We experimented with several techniques and are particularly thrilled with the casted brass items! “Christian’s Cuff”, from our men’s line, is a personal favorite of mine.

Christian's Cuff

While visiting Chicago last fall, I stumbled across a brass cuff bracelet in a vintage store and purchased it for my boyfriend, Christian. I wanted to replicate the piece for RETCo. and couldn’t be happier with the finished product – it is BEAUTIFUL! This piece is so versatile that, although we will be showing it in the men’s collection, I know plenty of ladies who would buy this for their own wardrobe! The unusual lines of this statement piece give it a graceful, yet tough, architectural feel. It’s a piece that can be layered with other bangles but is substantial enough to stand alone. It is made from cast solid, polished brass produced by Raymond, a truly talented craftsmen and artisan of RETCo. Thank you, Raymond – you nailed it!

Creating the Mold

The Firing Process

The Rough Product

One size fits most men and the piece can be bent slightly and carefully by hand to fit most women. We have included a small video that highlights the production process. Gift others (or yourself!) this season with a luxe statement piece that makes a big impact!

Happy Wednesday all,
