Designs So Delicate They Could Be Called Contemporary Art
"Paper Jewelry" is a new type of accessory, cut from A4-sized specialty paper, allowing those with metal allergies to enjoy fashion with ease. The material used is specialty paper, such as synthetic leather paper infused with leather. It boasts excellent water and durability resistance, making it strong against sweat and water, and reusable. Its remarkable lightness, making you forget you're wearing it, is another appealing feature.
The collection features six distinct items, suitable for various occasions from casual daily wear to parties. "Coral" is characterized by a design inspired by branching corals spreading in Okinawa's blue sea. A playful touch is added with a subtly hidden fish. "Rose," which complements glamorous dresses, is a luxurious piece expressing an enchanting rose blooming in the night. "Chocolate" offers a unique finish, depicting the way chocolate melts.
Additionally, the lineup includes "Message," composed of the alphabet from a to z, "Milky way," inspired by the celestial river, and the simple yet delicate "Layer." Each piece, with its beautiful kirigami-like design, elegantly adorns the wearer's décolletage. They can also serve as interior decor to enhance a space, offering enjoyment as contemporary art.
