Pals At Play: New Sister Brand of KitschenSink

Our good friend Rowan Grant and her jewellery brand KitschenSink have recently announced its sister brand Pals At Play, a collaboration between her and graphic designer Paul Jamie Kidd. So we think it's a great time to talk about Rowan's new work, and what we did in Leeds in Barcelona.

KitschenSink was founded in 2008, a fascination of colourful branded toys, and a desire to re-purpose mass-produced materials into handmade. She described her collections as "colourful, kitschy, funky and fun". Rowan's designs have previously been stocked in Selfridges London, and have been featured in Cosmopolitan and Company Magazine. We first met Rowan just days before Leeds in Barcelona, but it didn't take us long to decide that KitschenSink had to be one of the Leeds brands we showcase in Barcelona. And result, Barcelona leading fashion blog Lelook did a special feature of KitschenSink.

We're very excited to see within just 4 months since we worked with her, Rowan, and Paul have already produced a new collection that has had a major change in the material. I'm very fond of the Pals At Play collection, hope you like them as well.
