The talented maker behind Soutache Norway is Natalia Kopeć. Her designs are based around a technique called soutache, or Russian braid. Combining intricate beading patterns with the stitching of delicately braided cords, and often with a larger bead centrepiece.

Natalia’s designs are colourful and playful but also very easy to wear. The pieces are so well constructed that they are immensely durable, whilst being surprisingly light.

Meeting Natalia is like opening up a box of sunshine and positivity. She is as easy going and colourful as the jewellery she makes.
