About the Pieces
I design and make each accessory in my Amsterdam studio. I cut each piece out of recycled acrylic and assemble it too. Depending on the piece, I use acrylic, resin, glue, nylon and metal to make it.
DEARLY BELOVED
There is so much that is precious about our world, but nothing nearly as precious as childhood.
Bandit Power celebrates the imagination, the grime, the extravagant fantasy, the playground, and the uninhibited personality of childhood. Each piece I make is meant to further the pretend play, the fantastical self-perception, and self-expression of the wearer.
I wish for you to play blithely, little bandits,
Besos!

Soft Clip-Ons
For now, the earrings I make are “clip-on first” meaning, these earrings are specifically made for earlobes that feel too precious or sensitive to pierce. If you are interested in an existing design of earrings but want it for pierced ears, please send me a message on instagram.
The actual clip-on piece of the earring is designed specially to feel softer for longer wear. No sharp pinch clip-on earrings here.
About Me
I am a grown woman, with some growing left to do. I’ve always had a love for the sparkling and dazzling things in the world.
With my ten fingers and the body they’re attached to, I have made lots of little things including paintings, jewelry, tasty meals, etc. And most impressively, two small children; the mostly sparkling, dazzling and grimy things I’ve ever made.
I have been taught in the ways of graphic design, and am also a recreation therapist. In my formative college years as a recreation therapy student, I learned that play is very valuable and if we have a healthy diet of it, we may live a long, emotionally rich life.
I hope to keep playing and making things as long as I live. I am happy to collaborate on making things, chat about making things, and learn about making things.
Thanks for learning about Bandit Power.
