Karen & Kobomo

 

 

Karen has played out many different roles in her life, from studying psychology at university, to a being a career woman in the corporate world of recruitment. In the end, it was the allure of being her own boss with her own creative direction that lead to the conception of KOBOMO. Karen’s perspectives on life are filled with the refreshing clarity of someone who loves what they do. . Karen has a spirit of generosity and has truly exhibited her essence in so many aspects of KOBOMO and it’s culture. To a large extent KOBOMO reflects it’s architect– a bit of this and a bit of that, a lot of colour and a lot of heart all strung together quite unconventionally.

Trending now - Cuffs & Wrist Wraps

Cuffs will be huge this year with looks ranging from leather and studs, to metallics and more delicate jewelled designs.

When choosing the right cuff/wrap for you take into consideration both the style and size of the cuff.

Firstly your wrist size needs to be considered in relation to the cuff's style, width and textural appearance.

A fine delicate cuff can look out of place on a thicker wrist, whereas a cuff with more width and heavier appearance will look more balanced and appealing. Conversely a small wrist will look overwhelmed by a wide, heavy looking cuff. NB as with all accessories, the main aim is to enhance rather than distract from our unique features.

Obviously the style of the cuff should coordinate with the rest of your outfit to create an harmonious look.

We have a wide range of both cuffs and wrist wraps in store to choose from and we'd be happy to help you select the right accessory for you.

Colour & Texture - Making an Impact

Colour & texture - making an impact

As you know we just looove our colour here at Kobomo. This week we were excited to open a box of goodies Karen has sourced from her international buying trip.

Adding either colour or texture to an otherwise basic neutral outfit will lift it to another level. Here we've created two looks using our new $19.70 light-weight colourful scarves.

These cotton crochet daisy jackets ($37.50) are timeless and add the wow factor more subtly with the addition of their texture.

What's your favourite look, colour or texture?
