Our new FLAGSHIP STORE

We are so excited !  In a very short time we are opening our new FLAGSHIP STORE in Oslo.  The location is really something to be proud of.  Its in the main street of Oslo, facing the Royal Castle, and next to the Parliament building.  The adress is KARL JOHANS GATE 25.  Next to Zara.  The building you can see on the right side, is the parliament. 



You can see our sign from far away.  On the picture it looks small, but it isnt.



There is a famous outdoor restaurant just in front of us.





We are working hard to get ready to open the doors.

This is the Facade.  We are starting the season with a great picture of Charlotte. 

We havent opened the doors yet, but it will happen soon. 
The OFFICIAL OPENING will be on August 15th.  Then well celebrate with some great surprises.

If you visit Oslo, make sure to drop by !  We would love to see you there !  Until then, have a great summer !

Charlotte Thorstvedt for A&C




Meet Katja Synnestvedt Berger.  She is productdesigner here at A&C.  She came up with the idea to ask Charlotte Thorstvedt to be our model for the next season.  We contacted her, and she said "YES !"   " But then I want to make my own design" Charlotte said.  And we went " Thats absolutely NO problem"   And  ran home to the office, thinking wow, this is just awsome !!!





There are lots of people who dream of making their own jewellery collection.  But not everybody is capable of doing it.  Charlotte however did a really great job.  Charlotte is a Norwegian celebrity.  She started off having a famous father, Erik (The Viking) Thorstvedt, the famous footballplayer.  That brought their family to England.  That might be the inspiration, I dont know ?     Charlotte started off her career as a MTV presentator.  And from that day on, she has been doing one exciting thing after the other.  Last year she finished her masters degree at London School of Economics.  She is now a model and and a fashion editor of a well known Norwegian magazine.  She is also working as TV presentator among other thing.  She travels a lot, to New York and other hotspots, and therefore she is exposed to a lot of inspiration.  She has a great fashion sence, and knows exactly what she wants.  Katja and Charlotte have been cooperating giving life to Charlottes drawings.  Here is the moodboard Charlotte started by making.





Charlotte made the drawings her self, she went straight to the point. And knew exactly what she wanted.  Inspired by the 90ies with fingertiprings, earcuffs etc.   Katja made the technical drawings and sent them off to our silver atelier in Indonesia, where a group of master silversmiths made the actual jewellery.   Its all made in pure sterling silver, and bronze.  And its all hand made.  The jewellery is ready for launching in the shops only in August.  So until then  you have to wait !!.  These days we are taking order from shops, and the sales are going really well ! 




This is the result.  Quite nice, if I may say so !  What do you think ?
