  • Making of – Pyrrha

    At Wolf & Badger we are curious by nature, so it is no surprise that we LOVE ‘behind the scenes’ videos. Furthermore knowing how the items are produced and how much effort and skill is put into creating them gives us a whole new level of appreciation. Naturally we were very excited when we saw this video which shows the process of making Pyrrha’s stunning jewellery.

    Each of Pyrrha’s jewellery is 100% hand crafted meaning that every piece is incredibly special and unique. They take pride in keeping the little “flaws” found in each wax seal which is a small reminder of the work that goes into each pendant, bracelet, earring and ring.

    In the video, you can see how they start the creative process by making a wax mould using original 19th century wax seals. This is then used to form the mould for the jewellery seals. After the mould is finished, they melt reclaimed silver, bronze or gold which is then cast into the bracelet. We were surprised to see how after the bracelet has been cast and how the metal goes through numerous processes to create an antique look. It is then finished off with a coat of wax and is polished for a nice shiny finish!

    We hope you enjoyed this “making of” and keep posted for more in the future!

  • We <3 Winter Knitwear

    As winter starts to take over London, in comes the cold weather, a busy shopping season and the stress of finding that perfect present for the ones you love. Winter also brings along some positives too, like spending the holidays with your family, eating yummy food and the chance to invest in some perfect pieces of knitwear! We have selected our 3 favourite men’s and women’s knits to help you out and keep those winter stress levels at a minimum.

    For men, this season is all about adding colour to your wardrobe. If you aren’t feeling too adventurous, opt for a sweater with a splash of neon, like this sporty hooded knit by Uzayr. Made with ultra soft Mongolian cashmere, this sweater is eye-catching, fun and best of all, keeps you warm on those cold winter days.


    Available in our Notting Hill boutique

    For something a bit bolder, this aubergine crew neck jumper by Melanie James is great for making a statement. With the stylish addition of leather elbow patches, it would look great over a collared shirt, making it perfectly suitable for a New Years Eve party.


    Available in our Notting Hill boutique & online

    Finally, everyone needs a Christmas knit and Peregrine has made that easy for you this year. It’s perfect for everyone who can’t get one made up by grandma … and a bit more up to date too!


    Available in our Notting Hill boutique & online

    For women, this camel coloured cardigan by Irwin & Jordan is a great addition to any winter wardrobe. Made from camel hair, this cashmere soft knit is extremely versatile and can be paired with a casual or smart look, and is great for layering under a coat on those really bitter days.


    Available in our Notting Hill boutique & online

    If you are looking for something that will bring a bit of life to the cold weather, a sweater by Lilly Marthe Ebener is sure to do just that. Her collection of bold and rich designs are hand knit using 100% natural fibres, and will certainly add a pop of colour to any outfit.


    Available in our Notting Hill boutique

    For this seasons parties, Autumn Kent’s debut collection of Victorian inspired knitwear provides a beautiful selection of luxury knits that would help you stand out from the crowd.
