I’m so grateful to be living in such a time like this when technology allows you to meet people from the other side of the world and find wonderful companies and products that you would have not otherwise found by ancient means. To me, Twitter is just phenomenal! I got to learn about different companies and products and meet great people through this social media platform.
One of them is a costume jewelry company owned by two young friends, Connie and Jenny, based in London, United Kingdom. These ladies hit it up as friends back in 2009 when they met at London Business School. They both used to work in a corporate environment. I can’t imagine how fashionably limited that is when it comes to expressing your style and what not. I’ve never been a corporate girl and being in the creative industry, I’m fortunate that I can express myself in whatever way, shape, or form. But being in a corporate environment limits you somewhat and this is what propelled these friends to start Astrid & Miyu.
Astrid & Miyu is Connie & Jenny’s solution to their own corporate fashion dilemma as well as sharing this solution to other females as well. You’d probably think, well there are other accessory companies out there that can do the same. What’s their difference?
Well for one, I love how personalized their service is. See this handwritten note below? It’s precious! I love that the co-founder, Connie, would take the time to write a handwritten note together with the jewelry! It just says a lot about their service. I hope that they’d continue this even when they grow bigger.
Secondly, is their packaging and presentation. I’m a stickler for presentation. It just has more impact when a product is carefully packaged and presented to the buyer. The necklace and the ring that I got actually came in a resealable pouch and still packaged inside this canvas pouch. I love it when there’s just a little bit more investment made in the overall presentation. It just has more impact to me.
It came with a little card that gives the customer a discount code and tells her more about Astrid & Miyu but what I really adore in this tiny card, is the closing “With Much LOVE.” Isn’t that just sweet?
Finally, Astrid & Miyu isn’t just about personalized service and nice presentation but they are also about quality. This posh spike necklace is over the top! I wish my camera can do justice to this necklace. I can’t wait to show this to you when I’m wearing it in one of my outfit posts.
This First Kiss ring is super adorable! It looks super expensive for its quality but it’s only about $19 (USD).
