We at DaWanda, the online marketplace for unique

and handmade items, believe that for every individu-

al there exists the perfect gift: something that strikes

a chord with them, something specially made for them

alone.

With that in mind, we present the second edition of

our Lovebook. We gave it this name because to us,

giving a gift is a way of showing your love.

At DaWanda over 110,000 designers put this samelove and passion into their work producing unique

items, often working in close contact their clients,

tailoring products to meet the specific needs and

wants of customers.

A porcelain ring by jewellery label MaaP Studio; an

808 synth in cuddly cushion form by Softmachines;

a solar powered wooden toy plane by Berty-Masha

these are just three examples from our collection of

over 1.5 Million handmade products from across the

globe.

A whole lot of creativity, inventiveness and individual-

ity goes into the handmade gifts available at Da-

Wanda. The opportunity to meet the designer behind

that item you love, and to meet others who love it too,

is what makes our site even more special.

We hope you enjoy discovering our Products with

Love, and we wish you a very merry Christmas!

From Claudia Helming

and the whole DaWanda Team

Dig For VictoryDig For Victory is made

for women and girls who

still love to play dress-up!

British fashion designer

Eleanor Callaghan breathes

new life into vintage fabricsourced from the antique

fairs and ea markets of her

native Brighton. The result-

ing pieces offer a modern

take on retro, as vivid colour

and pattern is playfully paired

with classically feminine

silhouettes. Eleanor began

designing dresses to

wear on stage with her

band, and has since gone

on to dress other artists,

such as Bat for Lashes and

M.I.A.

The Spotted SparrowDaWanda has helped me

realize that I can actually

make a living doing

something I love.

Julia Sydnor first discovered her

passion for papercraft when she

made her own wedding invita-

tions. The American designer,now based in the UK, uses vintage

illustrations and photographs on

recycled and FSC-certified paper to

create gifts which are as eco-friend-

ly as they are design conscious.

Images and characters from the

past speak modern words of wit

and wisdom in her irreverent greet-

ing cards, prints and papeterie.

Birdland CreationsA lot of my creations have

their own character and

story behind them.

UK native Ruth Baillie now lives

on her own vineyard in California,

USA. Many of her silver jewellerydesigns are inspired by the birds

attracted to that sunny spot. The

migration of birds is an apt meta-

phor for Ruths own journey over

the ocean, and her transition from

scientist to artist (she trained in

Pharmacology). Her pieces are

designed to evoke emotions like

serenity and playfulness, remind-

ing the wearer of the things to

enjoy in life.

LaSrtaPilWhen I was little, I always

had a pencil in my hand.

Argentinian Paola Zakimis

artworks have been prettifying

DaWanda for the last three years.

Over time, her range has expanded

to include handmade dolls and

unique jewellery featuring her

beautiful, sad-eyed girls and

creatures. Her inspiration is drawn

directly from her own childhood

and the natural environments she

has lived in. The resulting works

are like illustrations for a grown up

fairy tale, with a hint of melancholy

to temper the sweetness.

and nd new techniques

Konstantinos Apostolidis is the

designer behind the Milloo hand-

bag label. He lives in his native

Greece with his wife, who also

runs her own DaWanda shop, and

children. Milloo bags have be-

come bestsellers thanks to Kon-

stantinos vivid use of colour and

strong design sense. He came to

handbags from a background in

childrens fashion, and has taken

the opportunity to experiment with

technique and form as much aspossible, with in-

novative results.

Frank & GertrudeIm so inspired by traveling

and seeing what people are

wearing in different places

It was love that brought designer

Megan Hoffmann to Europe from

her native New York. She started

out selling handmade goodies

while on tour with her musician

boyfriend, and turned it into a full-

time business when she settled

with him in The Netherlands.

Megan combines woodsy motifs,

earthy colour tones, whimsical il-

lustrations and a strong design

sense to create bags

and accessorieswhich are as pretty

as they are

practical.

Ali Bali JewelleryI am at a really exciting point

in my journey as a jeweller.

Scottish designer Alison Reid en-

rolled in a silver-smithing course

as a way to unwind after a busy

day working in Human Resources.

Just a few short years later, she

was able to give up the day job

and devote herself full time to

jewellery making. Alisons work

immortalizes natural textures and

patterns, from leaf veins to finger-

prints, in stunning art clay silver.

Thus each piece reveals the in-

spiration behind it in a subtle yet

striking way.

Little Emma KI believe that if you love

what you are making others

will too, and it will spread!

The Emma of Little Emma K is

actually the niece of designer Lily

Loreaux. When Emma was born,

Lilys sister couldnt find anything

quite pink enough, so Lily stepped

in to knit a bright pink scarf the

first of her cute and colourful knit-

ted wonders for kids and adults.

Born in Belgium but now living in

India with her husband, Lily has

filled her shop with unique knit-

wear, from watermelon hats to

sushi scarves and much more.
