Jamin Does Jewels

Those who've been following Benoit Jamin and Isabelle Puech's sweet handbag line Jamin Puech since the company opened its Nolita flagship in spring '08 have something else to look forward to; the Jamin Puech jewelry collection will soon launch at the store, which is located at 14 Prince Street.

"We incorporated our lifestyle into a versatile collection of jewelry that best highlights the Jamin Puech handbag line, said Puech, who looked to Malian photographer Malik Sidibe's black and white photographs for the African-inspired collection. "We wanted to create an accessories collection that is unique, yet classic." The collection will mimic the playful designs and bright colors of the Jamin Puech handbags (some pieces will include elements like flowers and birds), using materials from resin and wood to cotton and mirrors.
