Laura Lee on inspiration:
“My mum had this fantastic bracelet and she used to put it on for special occasions. She travelled quite a lot when she was young – she met my dad in Australia and she’d been to America. She had fantastic things on this charm bracelet, like an orange from Florida, and Eiffel Tower from Paris and a koala from Australia. All these things to me, born in north London, were really exotic and exciting. I think it was bracelet that planted the whole jewellery thing in my head.”
Laura Lee on having her studio under the shop:
“It’s an old fashioned concept, but it’s all tied in with my whole approach. It’s just nice to say that we make the jewellery downstairs. If I was shopping, that’s exactly what I would want to hear.”
Laura Lee on fashion:
“With fashion, you’re hot one minute and then the next nobody’s interested. That’s the nature of the beast. It’s exciting, and I like being involved in it, but I’m also seperate to it.
