Jamaican Living Memoir: 'Jamaican-Made' Jamaica Day

Hey World! :)

Today is celebrated as Jamaica Day observed under the theme ‘Celebrate Jamaica: We On It’, so in honour of my country i'm going to profile two Jamaican made products i love. The first is the exquisite leather sandals, Bridget Sandals by local Jamaican designer Bridget Brown.

Style Name: Fringe (pictured on the left)

The Bridget Sandals line is elegantly simple ranging from leather slingbacks and ankle wrap thongs to ornamental flip flops. Her delicate detailing is often inspired by nature with floral or leaf-like embellishments available in many colours particularly metallics and colours inspired by the Caribbean.
Bridget's philosophy is that her sandals are ornaments for the feet which can serve as a conversation piece.

The other Jamaican designer work i love and fully endorse is Peace-is of Bianca. Bianca Bartley is the creator of this dynamic and exquisite jewellery line. She is an incredibly talented young woman that i just can't wait to see more of her work. Peace-Is of Bianca is where abstract meets organic, giving birth to a fusion of copper, silver, gold, intertwined with semi-precious metals and stones, and a variety of raw materials. Her line is very much in the ethos of “living green”, inspired by nature and her moods.

Bianca’s work has been featured in many local and regional publications. In August 2012 the line was sought after by the ANISA production team of International Television Reality Series- America’s next Top Model, College Edition Cycle 19 which aired in October [where] contestants vie for over thousands of dollars worth of jewellery courtesy of Peace-is of Bianca.
