Thank You Katrocket


Look what arrived in the post today from my gorgeous Canadian friend Katrocket!!!

This Glorious Artifact is a belt buckle immortalising my gurning nephew in pure Titian Crystal®, surrounded by diamonds and blue fairy dust from Mars. In years to come I plan to gift this treasure to his future spouse as a wedding gift.

You too can commission the supremely talented Beevers to make you a customised wearable item featuring your favourite person/dog/vase.

  1. Lulu! So glad you like your buckle, and thank you for your praise. That fairy dust was a bit tough to source, but worth the trouble we think.
    That Katrocket is something special, isn't she? I hope someday you can enjoy her fine cocktails and sweet caustic wit in person.
    xoxo

  6. Trixie + beever - I adore my buckle and wear it everwhere, including on my bikini bottoms this summer.

    Would love a fine KR cocktail one of these days - will I have to fight raccoons?

    Ange Can't wait to see you with the belt on
    I shall wear it on my very next visit

    Frenchie - we like cheeky round here - I am thinking that you might be a little on the delicate side.

    Sav - I have a feeling that the new Mrs Chaos would love one
