Fresh from the Forge: Battle Ready Jewellery with a Deadly Disposition
An arsenal of wearable weaponry for those who prefer their accessories armed and dangerous
By: The Lace Ledger Staff
Someone's been raiding the armoury, and we have a few suspects…
Though, these instruments of destruction have undergone a chic transformation. Medieval menace meets modern mischief as swords are miniaturized for necklaces and daggers dangle from unsuspecting earlobes. Even the flail and the scythe have found second life in fine accessories.
Once bound for the battlefield, these miniature marvels have found a much more fashionable calling. We've rounded up some heavy artillery for those who prefer a little danger in their dressing. No combat training required.
(K)night Moves: Dark Medieval Dressing for the Modern Wardrobe
Where battlefield dressing meets everyday armour
By: The Lace Ledger Staff
Beneath every fairytale is a story about survival. If medieval style calls to you, perhaps it’s because there is a survivor in your bloodline? Someone that crossed an ocean. Survived a plague. Returned from a war.
These silhouettes and symbols call back to a hard-won victory, at a time when we could all use a win.
This darker interpretation of medieval dressing draws from that not-so-distant history, favouring pieces feel like homage to brave knights and the community they served, acknowledging what has come before and carrying forward its aesthetic of protection.
