Designed and produced by Mangie Chan
Mangie is an artist of many mediums; silversmith, photographer, visual designer and all around dreamer. She is inspired by memories of childhood, of growing up, & pop culture, and her designs often evoke a sense of sentimentality and connection. She is always curiously peeking into the future, with a focus on music, fashion, community and general togetherness.
The result is a mix of dreamy designs that cultivate a sense of dualities; high/low, weird/cute, hard/soft. Mangie would describe herself as an explorer when it comes to design, mixing different genres, feelings and experiences, and her resulting designs are ever changing.
Her jewelry is designed to uplift and bring happiness to the viewer and wearer. When you find a connection with a special piece of jewelry, it gives you the power to express your style, and the many worlds that exist within all of us.
She loves the long lasting nature of silver, that it is a durable metal that can accompany you on your day to day journeys, but also be the piece you gravitate to for special occasions. That silver never needs to be thrown away, and can always be melted down, and remade into something new. Something that can be kept for ages

“Making a successful luxury brand in nine years is genius. It’s a feat that I admire and hope to continue building upon with a rich legacy. He revolutionised streetwear and luxury that crosses generations and decades. He showed the world that the underrepresented, the underdogs and Black people, in particular, have brilliant minds and can push and compete equally in the establishment. He inspired hope and brought about change.” - Ibrahim Kamara, Art&Image Director Off-White™
