Money can’t buy happiness…but #UBI buys breathing room!

What if we stopped tying survival to 40-hour grindfests?

#UniversalBasicIncome isn’t a magic wand—it’s a trampoline. Studies show cash with no strings = less stress, more art, weird small businesses, and happier humans. Turns out existential panic isn’t a great motivator!

Let’s build an economy where “thriving” isn’t a #luxury Who’s in?

#HappinessPolicy #BasicGoodness #UBI4ME

(P.S. Skeptics welcome! But bring data, not doom.)

#LVMH’s market value is still 3 times what it was a decade ago. Rich people rarely go out of style. And, indeed, founder and chief executive Bernard Arnault has been a buyer of his company’s stock recently, bringing his family’s stake to just under 50 per cent. It’s just that in financial terms, the industry’s next couple of seasons could land with a thud.

Throw back to the time our choker necklace was in Desnudo Magazine!
📸 💎 🖤📰

We used to specialize in bold chunky jewelry in non-precious materials like nylon and steel. But when the production costs from our suppliers rose and the quality and value didn't, we decided to discontinue those materials and focus exclusively on heirloom quality metals like sterling silver. Sadly, this meant designing smaller items for a while. But we missed the big "F-OFF" statement pieces we used to make so much that we finally figured out how to create them again, this time in premium metals. Our 2.0 versions are a bit more versatile: unisex and uni-size. Because the pieces will likely outlive you, you should be able to pass them on to whomever you like.

Perhaps you noticed this necklace?

It's our latest design: a contrast oxidized throat grill made of hand-finished solid sterling silver and leather.

The latest (climate destroying) insanity that rich people and TikTok influencers are feeding on: "This #berry looked as if it had a personal trainer, a facialist and a team of dedicated stylists ... as if the process of perfecting a natural thing had been pushed past the point of human enjoyment." Lois Beckett asks, if a #strawberry will be "a sign of the approaching fall of the American empire" - the answer is surprising:

The Guardian · I tried the viral $20 strawberry. It tasted like the end of the American empireBy Lois Beckett
This is one of our favorite designs. As molten silver flows through this casting and crystalizes, its geometry captures potential energy. When the investment is broken away, that energy converts into motion, and the twisted form unravels. It then has to be annealed and re-twisted back into this spiraling maze.

"Men’s Accessories Won the 2025 Oscars". See link below to this refreshing article we read last week. It's so nice to see men taking fashion risks again. After what, 4 decades? We guess we'll count the 70's as cool.
