Acne Studios works in collaboration with New York City-based artist Jessi Reaves on a new accessories collection that is made with her signature upcycled technique. She melds together ideas from furniture and sculptural practices for an authentic look.
This collaboration marks a refreshing outlook with new necklaces, bracelets, and earrings to join the roster, as well as some home goods. The accessories are made using premium sterling silver and further enhanced with charm details that are inspired by found objects. This can be seen in the form of bracelets resembling shoes -- it highlights classic Mary Janes as well as laceless loafers. The necklaces have square cuts and pendants and the earrings have parallel pendants.
