Necklace - Dots

About This Product

Natural disasters such as forest fires, heat waves and droughts are occurring with increasing frequency on Earth. They have a significant impact on natural systems, wildlife and human life. However, the dead branches of trees can also provide valuable resources for a creative process. With a little work and polish, even branches can be beautiful - and the accessories from l'île d'eau emphasise this.

 Handmade in Germany.

How to care your accessories

Like your skin, wood requires care. If it gets too dry, it will deteriorate and deform. To protect against this, the product is coated with beeswax, which is easy to clean. When needed, apply natural vegetable oil or wax with a brush or cotton cloth.

If you accidentally get it wet, use a cloth to wipe it dry. Keep it in a well-ventilated place. Because it’s a natural material, hard scratches will clear away the color. However, the material is suitably durable, and is resilient against light wear and tear.

About  l'île d'eau

l'île d'eau was founded in Berlin by Natsuko Mizushima v.d. Ree. Her family name, Mizushima, means water (“mizu”) and island (“shima”) in Japanese; l’ile d’eau captures both of these concepts in French. Observing the forest near her home, she often collects plants or branches as they fall from the trees. This inspired her brand’s philosophy; “wearing”, “seeing”, or “feeling”, using different types of natural materials to create sustainable, fashionable and simple accessories. She also leverages her background as a graphic designer throughout her work.
