Collaborations 101: The Evolution of Harris Reed x Flaminika

From London Fashion Week to VIP spottings, look back at the highlights of our partnership with the innovative designer.

01 Feb 2024

Our partnership with fashion designer, Harris Reed, is one that’s gone from strength to strength – beginning as a friendship, leading to a collaboration and into best selling jewellery styles loved by VIPs and you alike. Let’s take it back to where it all began.




2020 – 2021: Marisa and Harris Dream Big


When our founder Marisa first met gender-fluid fashion designer Harris Reed years ago, they both knew it was a serendipitous encounter. Conversations followed about what would happen if you took Harris’s vision and made it accessible by creating jewellery for everyone?

The idea of a collection was born. Producing it provided quite the feat, conceptualised during lockdown, with ideas and samples transported between Harris and Missoma’s London studio via Zoom and bike messengers.

September 2023: Taking London Fashion Week


In our anniversary month we presented a one-of-a-kind wearable art piece for Harris’ show. The bespoke garment took jewellery to brand new heights with meaningful elements adorning the fluid fashion piece.

It was handcrafted in Italy by artisans famous for creating high-fashion couture. Within the design our Crescent Moon and North Star motifs could be found, plus our Georgian-inspired hand holding a baroque pearl.

We brought you the silver lining you’ve been waiting for, plus brand new gold pieces. Discover the In Good Hands Pearl Necklace Labradorite Cocktail Ring, North Star Pearl Hoop Earrings


“I love to walk the line between wearable art, but also creating pieces that people can wear in their everyday life too. Working with Missoma allows me to make this dream come true.” -HARRIS REED

Packaging for jewelry with the Planet in Mind


We’ve worked hard to make our packaging as sustainable as possible, keeping the same iconic Missoma aesthetic – but we're always looking for ways to improve it.
Let's break it down:


  1. [ 1 ] ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY INKS Our printing inks are soy-based. Soybeans are an 100% renewable material, able to be grown and replenished indefinitely.
  2. [ 2 ] FSC CERTIFIEDAll the paper within our packaging is FSC certified, meaning the woodcpulp comes from managed
    forests.
  3. [ 3 ] 100% REUSABLEOur pouches are made to be kept and reused to protect your jewellery at home or on-the-go.

 

We also offset the carbon emissions from our packaging operations with biodiversity projects focused on reforestation and rainforest protection.
