CRAFTSMANSHIP & ETHICS
Our commitment to slow-fashion, provenance and ethics. Discover the beautiful, intricate craftsmanship behind our handcrafted jewellery and signature Mother of Pearl heels
OUR FOUNDING PRINCIPLES
Freya first wrote about the importance of the fair and ethical treatment of indigenous people and the preservation of traditional skills in her university dissertation in 2003 which assisted her in gaining a 1st class honours degree from the London College of Fashion.
“It has always been important to me to work with artisans that share my passion for working with traditional techniques passed down through generations. My Mother is a fine jewellery designer and step father a master goldsmith, I grew up observing them and their love and passion for design, beautiful materials and craftsmanship became part of my DNA ”
As a Small business we have an ambitious long view, to be continuously better. There is always much to do and learn and we will continue to research and look to develop our products in the most ethical and sustainable way. We will be honest with ourselves and our customers.
HANDCRAFTED BY
FAMILIES, NOT FACTORIES
Freya has worked with the same family of jewellers for over 10 years. These highly skilled craftsmen work alongside her to meticulously handcraft every style over an extensive period of time, transforming them into sculptural, wearable works of art.
Freya Rose believes that preserving and supporting the ancestral craft techniques used within her designs is essential in a fast, modern world where globalisation degrades these ancient practices, and often exploits those involved in the process.
unique investment pieces
Because every one of our jewelled heels are handcrafted, no two pairs will ever be the same. The Freya Rose creation process showcases an unparalleled artistry and craftsmanship passed down and honed through generations. The expertise, passion and knowledge of these artists are incomparable.
SHOES TO TREASURE FOREVER
We are committed to providing the highest quality, ‘slow fashion’ accessories to treasure forever. We only produce small stock runs, made by hand. Freya’s focus is to create timeless designs that are handcrafted to stand the test of time.
