Handmade Items on KrisShop With Exquisite Craftsmanship

Between purchasing mass-produced furniture and acquiring unique centerpieces, which grants you more satisfaction? We get it, the former gets the job done and it’s the safer option. Same goes for your fashion choices; it makes absolute sense to own just basic pieces in your wardrobe. But once you swop out a few of the basics for more eye-catching items with nostalgic backstories, your home and wardrobe will become sources of inspiration to break out of your mundane routine.

Signature items in your wardrobe and home are great ways to define your personal style - especially when they’re handcrafted with quality material. Ahead, we spotlight some KrisShop brands with handcrafted accessories and homeware.

Most of you would’ve probably heard of glassblowing before. And there’s a reason why this ancient art form remains relevant till date: the pieces created through this technique are unique and difficult to replicate. This unconventional egg-shaped vase by Original Murano Glass is crafted by Italian craftsmen. Its striking blue adds depth and warmth to an otherwise boring dining table. 

Good jewellery goes a long way. Quality material plays a crucial role in ensuring that your pieces last long enough to become keepsakes and even heirlooms. But, that doesn’t mean you should make a beeline for the most expensive piece you see on the market. If you plan to wear your jewellery pieces daily, it’s a good start to pick from a range of 9K, 14K and 18K gold (depending on your budget). Simple jewllery with little embellishments do the trick but for those who want to jazz up your collection, this 9K-gold ring from Liberty is perfect. This chunky ring is adorned with deep blue sapphires, accented by whimsical star-shaped carvings.

Hair accessories are often overlooked when you pick your outfit. But statement headbands are having a big moment this year. Think: Bella Hadid sporty chic look during Paris Fashion Week and Lily Collins’ bold outfits in the Netflix hit series, Emily in Paris. While it seems like the nostalgic 2000s hair-pushed-back look is here to stay, here’s a modern iteration that won’t come off as too expected or costume-like. This pearl and sequin-embroidered piece from Pearly Lustre may seem dainty but pair it with an edgy black dress for contrast and you’ll get a whole new outfit. The fresh-water pearls and embellishments are hand-sewed on to ensure that the effect of a cascading garden can be achieved.

Matcha lovers, if you’ve simply been using a regular rice bowl or cup to mix your matcha, here’s a tip: switch that out for the real thing. Why? Matcha bowls are wider and have a flatter base to ensure that there’s enough space for your whisk to froth up the liquid. The larger surface area also ensures that the delicate bamboo whisk won’t risk any breakage. T. Nishikawa has been around since 1918 and they’re a family business that specialises in kilns, ceramics and earthenware. This warm pink matcha bowl, made by overlapping different glazes, is one of their several unique creations.
