Kitte
Melbourne-based accessory label Kitte traces its history back to the late ‘90s, with the brand’s designer Kitte Cockerell driven to create jewellery inspired by the city’s lively and vibrant arts scene. Her intricate pieces quickly drew the attention of iconic Australia brands, collaborating with names such as Sportsgirl, Witchery and Mimco until ultimately launching Kitte in 2014.
The Kitte woman is all about balancing opposites while being unafraid to push boundaries. The range sources inspiration from the contrast of soft and structured, the traditionally masculine and feminine aesthetics. A Kitte piece is instantly recognisable, featuring signature symbols and motifs rendered in classic gold and silver-toned finishes. The bee is a recurrent symbol throughout the collection, adorning headbands, necklaces and chokers. Other nature-inspired flourishes make an appearance, including finely wrought flower and leaf shapes. Tiaras are given a 21st century update with subtle and sleek designs that are wedding-ready. The Kitte handbags sport the same richly romantic touch that defines the brand, with lush black leather bags and clutches studded with the label’s signature charms.
Whether it’s a special piece for a once-in-a-lifetime occasion, or a well-deserved indulgence, there is a Kitte piece just waiting for you to discover in THE ICONIC’s curated edit.
