A collection of handmade, up-cycled and vintage earrings from Skopje, Macedonia
From earrings reminiscent of the sweets of the old bazaar to those that reflect the ornate and brutalist motifs of the city's architecture, the collection pays homage to Skopje's unique blend of styles.
Skopje is a city where Ottoman remnants stand alongside genuine brutalist masterpieces and modern buildings designed to look old. The result is a captivating mishmash—a cityscape that defies categorization and invites exploration. "Kitschiest capitals on the planet," as dubbed by the New York Times, Skopje is a testament to the boundless creativity and audacity of its inhabitants. "Skopje 2014" marked a radical transformation, where the city's center was draped in a neo-classical facade. Existing buildings were masked in columns and ornaments, creating a surreal blend of pastiche and parody.
