Alexa von Heyden is a jewelry designer and until now her bracelet line that started in 2007 were only available online. A few weeks back she opened her first store “vonhey”. Her beautiful bracelets with charms in silver or gold, made in Thailand can be found here; the production supports families in Thailand who make them all by hand. Her inspiration came from a holiday. Alexa returned with a bag full of beads and started to make the bracelets for her friends at home. More and more people kept asking about them, so opening up her own store was the next logic step. The store also stocks other brands, such as the vintage jeans pillows by Melanie Petersen, bags by James Castle, dresses by Liebig and paintings by Anton Unai. I love browsing through the store and always find a little special something. Necklaces, earrings and bracelets by Alexa will extend the collection soon.
