Goldilocks™ for hansel enters Mandarin Gallery

If you know your Singaporean designers, you will be no stranger to quirky retro-modern womens-wear label hansel. After the success of their first standalone shop in Stamford House, hansel is moving up!

We were part of the lucky few to attend the VIP Preview Party of the new shop at Mandarin Gallery on Orchard Road last week. Apart from media, there were quite a few bloggers and fashion-quirky people who were all excited to sneak a peek at the new boutique.

Hansel founder and Creative Director Jo Soh has new creative ways of changing her shop with each collection. We love how she has managed to keep her quirky interior even in the slightly more up-market Mandarin Gallery.

Would you like some Cartoon turkey to go with your necklace?

On display was the latest collection called ‘Lily the Lady’ as well as a capsule collection created for the upcoming festive season.

Other than celebrating the new hansel shop, we were also cheering our latest collaboration piece – the Goldilocks™ handmade for hansel 2-in-1 Pearl Necklace and Brooch. Made with Swarovski Pearls and Sterling Silver, they come in black or white and just as retro with a modern twist as the rest of hansel.

Goldilocks™ Doodles – It’s Happy Hour!

We are welcoming a new member to our Goldilocks™ Doodles family. Young (at heart), sophisticated and definitely fun-loving, she is serious about her work and even more committed to a good laugh. Catching up on the gossip with her girlfriends after work, is what gets her up in the mornings. Never one to say no to a party, this girl has her dancing shoes on at all times.

Enter Goldilocks ‘Martini’, on Chain, a twist of White Gold and Peridot, with a dash of fun. We used a Peridot for the Olive, but it can also be changed  into a Diamond Lychee… ;)

Goldilocks™ Doodles, Kawaii desu ne!

Christmas lights are up on Orchard Road and the season of giving is around the corner, so we brought Goldilocks™ to the Raffles Town Club for their Xmas Fair.

A tad early for Christmas perhaps, but a ho-ho-ho-ing Santa and all the Scandinavian candles on sale at the fair, helped bring out that warm feeling of Christmas and lured out the inner child in us.

Setting up early in the morning next to more than a hundred other vendors, selling anything from flat bottle art, to cooking classes, wine and cheese tasting along with handmade notebooks and soaps.

Fellow vendors and Club members were curious to see what we had to offer. We very excited that our new Doodles collection brought out so many ‘kawaii‘ exclamations from the Japanese visitors. We were also kept busy explaining all the options to customizing Goldilocks with words and messages.

In the spirit of giving, we contributed a few vouchers to the Lucky Draw. We can’t wait to see what the Lucky Draw Winners choose to make….

Let us know what’s on your Christmas Wishlist this year!

Goldilocks showcase at the hansel shop

For those of you who don’t have time to come down to visit us in Orchard Road – Goldilocks now has its own showcase at the hansel store in Stamford House by the defunct Capitol Theatre. We went there to set up lights and display some new stock.

Chris sorting out the power plug so we could shine some light onto Goldilocks…

While in the shop, we could not help but notice the new cross stitch inspired decor and the lovely new pieces from the newest collection called ‘Lily the Lady’.  For anyone who has been watching the TV series Mad Men – be inspired!

All that’s missing is a Goldilocks Necklace around her neck…. ;)

Sara could not take her eyes off this lovely Lace Collar Dress! Here in a very sweet colour combo a la Swedish flag…  She left the shop a proud owner of one in Navy Blue….

We also spotted the Sequin Bustier Dress (on Sale!) that the lovely Katy Perry wore when she crashed a high school prom in Australia recently. See more here.

Just a Minute: Pamela Tan

Hi Pamela, could you please introduce yourself?

My name is Pamela and I do Marketing and PR for a fine dining restaurant group.

What do you like about Goldilocks?

Goldilocks is different from other jewellers as they encourage individuality and creativity. The more you want to push the design boundaries, the happier they are to make your dream come true. As a result, you get a piece that is distinctly you.

You chose to custom make a wishbone rather than a name or word. What does the ‘wishbone’ mean to you?

When you have a wish, you also have hope. And that’s very important to me in a world where everyone is increasingly cynical.

Do you get comments about it from other people? What do they say?

Yes I do. They always ask where I got it from and compliment the uniqueness of the pendant.

What other shapes or symbols would you like to see from Goldilocks™ in future?

Unconventional ones that are not commonly found on the market.

Proudly Presenting

We just found a Goldilocks™ customer  who wrote about her piece on her own blog. We are so proud to see happy customers, we wanted to show it off here!

Special Edition: Sarah Tan

Chris has been friends with Model/TV host Sarah Tan since high-school and we recently made her a Special Edition Goldilocks™ necklace.

Drop Pendant

Sarah being a dear friend and someone who is often in the limelight, we wanted this piece to be something different. The drop pendant was born, and with it, a more abstract way of writing the names. We absolutely love this piece and it was great to use Sarah as inspiration.

Says Sarah Tan: “My ‘Sarah’ necklace is brimming with sentiment. It’s a heartfelt design by a dear friend who knows who I am and who has given me a gift that reminds me, underneath it all, I’m still me.”
