Meet Reinerland

 Spectacular handcrafted engagement rings from Reinerland. 

Pieces from Cristina Taranu's new fashion line, available also on Corrente online.

Having a store is every designer's dream. There is a point when you need a place of your own, a home. When the opportunity presented itself, and I took it. Should I have waited for a better time, a better plan? It is a labor of love, but it is also damn hard. 

When Cristina and Reiner come on board at the beginning of the year, I had no idea how amazing it would be. To want to work hours, days?! To bring their clients in?! To strategize how we let everyone know we exist?! Wow, it is exactly what I was wanting, to have people care as much as I do about this little gem of a store.  

As for the precious sparkly stones encased in gold, we're girls, of course we love it! I have been coveting the sapphire in rose gold. The pictures are great, but trust me, these beauties are asking to be seen in person. What I love most about it their jewelry, is that you can truly tell each piece is handcrafted. And don't worry, there is something for everyone. 

Cristina is also bringing in her new fashion line: skulls, hearts, and butterflies. I am wondering what she will end up naming this collection, I know the idea of "death do us part" has already been thrown in the mix.

Cristina works sunday through tuesday, stop by, and find out for yourself how amazing she is!

Happy Valentine's

Our intern, Leonie Stender, put together this compilation of all her favorite heart pics. After all, pictures sometimes say it better than words.

Happy Valentine's Day! 

Mesmerizing...Watch "Here" by Tilda Swinton featuring Agyness Deyn

"I am love" was hands down one of my favorite recent movies- the slow quiet pace with stunning imagery, and subtle but strong emotion.  Tilda Swinton's  short film here "Here" starring Agyness Deyn has exactly that, with Hitchcock references:  the green ensemble from "The Birds" as well as Kim Novak's hairstyle within "Vertigo." It is somehow quietly riveting.  

I wonder what else Tilda is going to come up with in the far northeastern part of Scotland without television? But does she ever cheat and download movies/shows on the internet?  hmm. I wonder.  

Corrente Store featured in So-en

So-en is one of Japan's premier fashion magazines, and we are thrilled to be featured in the New York section along side our dear friend and neighbor Naoyo, designer of Any New York and owner of Noi. Yasuko Soma chose the most playful shots by Alison Brady Photography, which embrace Alison's staged, simple yet fantastical portraiture style.
