“I loved Vanda’s jewellery the moment I saw it. She creates collages of memories, objets trouvés, curios, souvenirs and little treasures, mixed with old lace, velvet and tapestry. Each piece is stunning and unique and can be hung on the wall as a piece of art when you are not wearing it.”
Hilary Alexander, Fashion Director, The Daily Telegraph
