Launching the 'Keep' collection with breakfast

In the run up to the launch of our AW19 Keep collection, we held our first ever breakfast club to celebrate some of the amazing people that have supported V from day 1 by sharing our new 'Keep' collection with them and treating them to some cornflakes. The guests have been our models, make-up artists, lawyers, web developers, graphic designers, employees and loyal customers since 2013. 

We managed to grab Laura at the event and ask her a couple of questions regarding the new collection!

I wanted to create a collection that highlighted the sustainability and longevity of our products. We have used recycled silver in our products since day one and our ethos has always been against throwaway fast fashion, hence our timeless aesthetic. Consumers are wanting to invest in pieces that last and our new collection stresses how a piece of V is something you can ‘Keep’ for a lifetime.

I really love the new necklaces and I’m so excited that these can now be hand engraved! They are the perfect gift, I gave all my bridesmaids a necklace each and they were so touched when they saw their initials on the back. The Edie necklace in gold and pearl is probably my favourite, it’s on trend but different to everything else on the market right now.

So important, it always has been! I’ve always considered it when designing collections and I’m really lucky to work with suppliers that are able to support this with recycled silver and ethically sourced mother of pearl. We made even more progress towards becoming a more ethical brand earlier this year when we gave people the option to choose minimal or luxury packaging (both recycle-able!) when ordering with us.

 
The event was an resounding success, with each guest gifted an engraved piece of jewellery hand-picked by Laura with their individual styles in mind. They were then invited to look over the new collection whilst sipping coffee and having a catch up. Scroll on to meet some of the amazing people we're proud to call part of the brand. You can shop our new personalise-able, Keep collection here.
