Despicably Charming

Despicably Charming Handmade gifts with despicable charm Handmade gifts with despicable charm. I have been making bracelets since I was old enough to tie my first knot! Kerry x

Spending many hours as a child making bracelets for family, friends and to sell on behalf of charities, encouraged always by my amazing mum and dad!

25 years later I am still making bracelets and have now, thanks to my wonderful customers, made this into a full-time job to support my family. HOW DID DESPICABLY CHARMING START? Living so close to and working in multicultural London all my life has

graced me with friends from across the globe and when those near and dear to me have to move back home we love to stay in touch. Facebook and email are great for that but there is nothing like a little surprise package from a friend to give you that extra special boost and help close the miles between you. I have been working as a professional designer for 15 years and have always been told I have a way with words when it comes to sentiments so I put these to good use making backing cards for the bracelets I gave to my friends to add extra special meaning to them. Soon after, friends and family who had received these bracelet cards were asking me if I could make them for their friends/events and so Despicably Charming was born. We helped them celebrate everything including weddings, birthdays, christenings and memorials, it was an honour to be part of so many of their special occasions. Despicably Charming has now sold 15,000+ bracelets in over 46 countries worldwide (including all 50 states of the USA) helping friends stay in touch, brides propose to their bridesmaids, families to remember a loved one, fitness groups encourage their members to stay strong and even large corporations for their team building retreats to help identify delegates. I always love a new design challenge so if you would like something that is not currently in my shop please send me a message and I will design a custom card for you FREE of charge! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Inspired by the beauty of traditional Japanese patterns.
Each design is paired with a small bookish haiku I wrote for the reverse.

A little celebration of Japanese culture and getting lost in a good book. 📖✨

Petals on the breeze,
memories of Kyoto streets,
soft steps linger still.
🌸✨
Wandering through Kyoto last year felt like walking through layers of history. Shrines hidden among quiet streets, the soft rustle of kimono silk, and lanterns glowing at dusk. 🏮✨
It’s a place where time slows down, where every corner holds a story. I can’t wait to return and lose myself in its beauty again. 💛
Have you ever visited a place that felt like stepping into a dream? 🌸

📏This is a size comparison against the full scale model I used to practise the techniques. They are so tiny 🥹

🌸These will be coming to the shop this autumn along with the bunnies as earrings. 🌸

🌸Lots of tiny little squares of traditional Japanese washi paper being turned into little cranes for the Kyoto Collection. They are the same size as my thumbnail!!

🇯🇵Japanese Paper Cranes (orizuru) represent peace, hope, good fortune and longevity. It is said anyone who folds 1000 paper cranes will have their wish granted.

I have always had a love for origami ever since I was shown how to fold a beautiful lotus flower when I was just 5 years old. 🪷
