When nostalgia and nature collide
The need-to-know brand for jewellery addicts with a penchant for adornments of a sculptural and statement kind. Leigh Miller created her eponymous line following a decade working as a designer for big US brands including J.Crew and Calvin Klein. Being drawn to the freedom of expression inherent in metalworking and jewellery, Miller’s debut collection, Creatures of Comfort was launched in 2014 to much critical acclaim. Inspired by natural patterns and forms translated into metal, Leigh works in unconventional methods, crafting collections made from a full spectrum of metals and featuring semi-precious stones.
We are excited to bring such a strong aesthetic on board for the new season and caught up with Leigh for quick chat.
